Well done!
The Minister for Education, Norma Foley, met the winners of 2023 BT Young Scientist & Technology competition at the Department of Education in Dublin on Tuesday last, February 14.
Shane O’Connor and Liam Carew from the Abbey School, Tipperary, presented the findings of their project “Assessing the Impact of Second-Level Education on key Aspects of Adolescents Life and Development” to the Department officials.
Speaking after the meeting Minister Foley said: “It was a pleasure to meet with 2023 BT Young Scientist & Technology Exhibition winners, Shane O’Connor and Liam Carew and principal John Kiely from the Abbey School, Tipperary. Thank you for presenting the findings of your award winning project to Department officials and I wish you well as you progress in the competition.”
