Thurles students come second in the All-Ireland Gael Linn Díospóireacht final

Well done to our Third-Year Debaters who had a terrific debate in what was a very high standard All-Ireland Final in Lucan last week. This event series had been organised and sponsored by Gael Linn.

The top prize went to the boys from Castlebar. However, our Pres girls finished in second place after a superb display of confidence in debating and Irish language skills.

We are very proud of our team of Third-Years: Orlaith Whitehead (Captaen na Foirne), Amelia Tracey and Pippa Quigley. What an amazing achievement for these girls and their superb mentor and teacher, Ms Sinéad Lewis. Comhghairdeas libh.
