Shoes for sheep show teens’ talent for smart ideas

Shoes for sheep, medical vests for children, and horse tail wraps were just some of the businesses unveiled by teenage entrepreneurs from schools across Ireland yesterday.

The Freddie Vest designed by students from St Mary’s CBS, Portlaoise, secures a special tube used when treating children with cancer.

The project was developed by five 16-year-old students: Mark Dunne, John Fitzgibbon, James White, Chris Carroll, and Jonathan Finlay.
