Collecting Ministers and TDs like Pokémon at the Ploughing 🏆💶

Our award-winning Tax Clinic had a busy and memorable first day at the National Ploughing Championships, meeting visitors, sharing practical tax information and highlighting the importance of free tax advice for communities.

Led by, Director of the Tax Clinic, and supported by Dr Maggie O'Neill, Dr Maria O'Brien and Ms Sophie Sweeney, the team had a busy day meeting visitors, sharing information and highlighting the Tax Clinic’s commitment to improving tax literacy and supporting communities.

The team also had the opportunity to meet:

• Micheál Martin, Taoiseach
• Simon Harris TD, Tánaiste and Minister for Finance
• Alan Dillon TD, Minister of State for Employment, Small Businesses and Retail, and Circular Economy
• Maria Walsh MEP, Member of the European Parliament
• Patrick O'Donovan TD, Minister for Culture, Communications and Sport
• Jim O'Callaghan, Minister for Justice
• Dara Cleary, Minister for Social Protection and Minister for Rural and Community Development and the Gaeltacht

It was a fantastic opportunity to bring the Tax Clinic’s work to a new audience and be part of University of Galway’s first-ever Ploughing experience.
