Update from Ivana – December 2011

Welcome to my website, and thank you for your support in the 2011 Seanad election.

I am delighted and honoured to have been re-elected in April 2011 to the Seanad on the Dublin University panel. I am also delighted to have become leader of the Labour group in the Seanad, and to be Deputy Leader of Seanad Éireann!

Throughout Autumn 2011, along with hundreds of others I worked hard on the successful election campaign for Michael D. Higgins - and was really thrilled to see him elected as President of Ireland.

I have been working hard to represent the graduates of Trinity College and the Dublin Institute of Technology since my election, and will continue to do so, with your support.

I am on unpaid leave from my lecturing position at Trinity Law at present, in order to focus on the political and representative work of the Seanad.

On this website, you will see details of the work I have been doing in the Seanad over the last few years, and the issues that I have raised and will continue to raise there.

I would of course be happy to raise any issues on your behalf in the Seanad. I also organise regular tours of Leinster House and again would be delighted to invite you to join us on one of those over the coming months.Do get in touch on ivana.bacik@oireachtas.ie – and thanks again for your support.

Best wishes,

We are having a public meeting about our plans to expand the provision of multi-denominational education in the Portobello area - on Thursday, May 5th at 8pm in Donore Avenue Youth & Community Centre, Donore Avenue, D8.
