Students were given a short history of the parliament and were then given the opportunity to speak to Pat Sheehan from Sinn Fein and former IRA activist and hunger striker. Conal McDevitt from the SDLP gave a very interesting talk on Northern Irish politics. After Stormont the students visited the Titanic exhibition. The tour finished with a tour of the murals on the  Fall's and Shankill road.
