A LIMERICK student was honoured by Tánaiste, Minister for Foreign Affairs and Minister for Defence, Micheál Martin TD at a prestigious event.

Castletroy resident James Kemmy was a finalist of the MyEU50 Third Level competition for his entry titled 'Europe's New Political Pathway in an Era of Crisis.'

The exhibition day for the MyEU50 Third Level competition took place in University College Cork.

Over 5,000 pupils and students participated in a nationwide competition to mark 50 years of Ireland's EU membership.

The Tánaiste commented: “The MyEU50 youth competition gave students an opportunity to think about what being an EU citizen means to them.

“The creativity, experience, and opinions expressed by the students showed their appreciation of Ireland’s 50-year-old membership of the EU.”
