CONGRATULATIONS: Two Tipperary students go through to the final of national poetry competition

Ursuline

Ursuline TY, Cáit Browne, has qualified for the National Final of Poetry Aloud. She impressed the judges with her recital of the poem Picking Figs by Ann Tannam.

She represented the school in the Intermediate category which had many entries so it was a great achievement for her to be chosen to go through to the next stage.
