UCC graduate to receive Moylan scholarship

A SCHOLARSHIP in memory of the late Sean Moylan, a War of Independence leader and former Government minister, has been awarded this year to a UCC graduate from St Brendan’s Park in Tralee.

The €3,000 award will help 21-year-old Aisling O’Brien in her further studies for a Masters degree in journalism at Dublin City University.

Daughter of Tom and Marie O’Brien, she attended Convent of Mercy schools in Moyderwell and Mount Hawk in Tralee before attending UCC where she graduated with a BA in English and in Greek and Roman civilisations.
