Memorial awards given to science students

STUDENTS at a Limerick boys’ secondary school yesterday received bursaries to encourage them to pursue studies in the sciences.

Analog Devices Ireland (ADI) presented 30 awards to students in CBS Sexton Street as part of the inaugural Eamonn Dillon Memorial Bursary Awards. The awards, presented in memory of former ADI employee who died in a car accident in Chicago in 2005, mark the achievements of students in maths and science.
