Visit to the State Laboratory
When we arrived in to the entrance of the Labs I was really impressed the area was gorgeous, the grass and bushes were perfected cut and the paths were spot less. When we went into the actually building that too was amazing, we were then led into a cosy room where we watched a power point presentation about what they do in the Labs for example they test food like baby milk to make sure they dont have too muxh bactraia that could kill the children . There work is clearly really important. We were then brought around the Labs in a guided tour, they were very organised as were went to different places for exactly 20 minutes. We visited places were we tested food for food poisoning bacteria like Salmonella or E-Coli etc. We also went to another section were we met a vet that works in the Labs. He tests dead animals for there cause of death, so this means he will find new diseases like the Swine Flu .We had a good day there but I found with no breaks and constantly walking around it became tiring. But I learned lots and I found it quite ironic how I go to school in Celbridge but I never knew these Labs were even there! :)
