Huge Success for TYs at EU Model Council Debate

On Thursday 3rd March, a group of Transition Year students in the School took part and won the Virtual EU Model Council Debate for secondary schools. The team represented Ireland in the debate. Those involved were speakers Joseph Connolly and Daniel Cassidy, as well researchers Joe Gifford, Eoin Burke, Luke Hedin and Tomás Boland.

The subject of the debate was an EU regulation in relation to migration. Specifically, a mechanism for solidarity between EU Member States to address situations when particular Member States are exposed to or likely to be exposed to migratory pressure.

As part of our research, Irish MEP Barry Andrews came to the school and spoke with us. It played a crucial role in allowing the team to construct a concise and defined argument and we would like to sincerely thank him for his time.

We are delighted to say that we, the Irish delegation, came first and won the entire event. A special thanks to our mentors Ms Farrelly and Mr Whelan.

Here is the youtube link to the full debate that you can view.
