Social media first for National Assembly – Day in the life of #POSenedd

18 February 2014

The National Assembly for Wales’s @Assemblywales Twitter feed will follow a day-in-the-life of the Presiding Officer, Dame Rosemary Butler AM, on 19 February.

In a first for the Assembly, Dame Rosemary will be using Twitter to illustrate the type of work that the Presiding Officer undertakes on a daily basis.

Followers of @assemblywales and #POsenedd will be able to follow the Presiding Officer as she works her way through a typically busy day.

“I think this is an exciting way of opening up the work of the National Assembly, and the office of the Presiding Officer in particular, to a wider audience,” Dame Rosemary said.

“It is a great honour to serve as Presiding Officer and no day is ever the same, but they are always interesting and often exciting.

“My duties range from chairing the official Plenary session of the Assembly as well as meeting people from all walks of life at receptions held at the Senedd.

“I hope you can join me as we share some behind-the-scenes moments in the life of the National Assembly.”

You will be able to follow #POSenedd from 08.30.
