Students show off the gift of the gab

THEY were the talk of the town last night as hundreds of competitors in the debating “Olympics” let their hair down in Cork.

Almost 1,000 of the world’s best university debaters are in the city for the prestigious 29th World Universities Debating Championships hosted by University College Cork (UCC).

And after a tough day of argument and counter argument, the teams agreed on one thing — to hit the city and enjoy a comedy session in Clancy’s Bar.
