This Tipperary school's debating team are going from strength to strength

The Concern Debating team of Jane Collins, Aisling Flynn, Clodagh Twomey, Nora Kilrane, Kate Fitzgerald and Fiona Maher are doing very well this year under the tutelage of Ms Downey.

The team have won all their encounters so far arguing for and against some very weighty motions.

Their most recent win against Gaelscoil Carrigaline sees them through to round five of the competition.

They went toe to toe with Carrigaline proposing the very topical statement "when appropriately regulated, AI has the potential to be a positive force in the world."

Well done girls and keep up the great work.
