Enhancing the role we play as members of the Oireachtas
Posted on February 19, 2010 at 02:51 PM
Have just discovered that the Oireachtas website allows users to the site to download clips from its video recordings of Dail and Seanad and Committee proceedings. This is how I have created the video clip for this post which is my speech on Labour's private members time last Wednesday when I spoke about my old hobby horse - the need to retain our present electoral system of pr stv in multi seat constituencies. Went a bit of topic but hey - have to take a bit of licence every now and then.
The Oireachtas website is becoming a real resource with archives of Dail and Seanad transcripts back to the establishment of our Oireachtas, information about our TDs and Senators over the years, and now the latest technology.
To make a video clip you go to 'Watch and Listen' then go to the option "Video Clip Tool" and take it from there. "The archive video files are stored on Oireachtas servers, so there are no storage implications for your systems, regardless of how many or how long your video clips are" according to the website.
My speech was about the need to enhance the role of TDs and Senators in the Oireachtas. This new tool means we can better promote our role.
