Oireachtas Science Pairing Scheme Data Protection Notices

The Oireachtas Science Pairing Scheme will team up TDs and Senators with experienced scientists. The scheme will provide parliamentarians with the opportunity to learn about the science behind issues of current concern; issues that have relevancy to constituency and Oireachtas work. Equally, it introduces scientists to the workings of the Houses of the Oireachtas and the legislative and policy-making process.
