Students win hands down with Dragon

Three students who opted for production of their new Irish-language word game in Ireland, instead of China, were rewarded with a €2,000 bursary on RTÉ TV’s Junior Dragons’ Den.

Hundreds of orders have already been placed for the Focail Iontacha game, devised and designed by the girls from Regina Mundi College in the Cork suburb of Douglas.

Despite research showing they could have it made for around €5 per unit in China, they decided to have it made by a Dublin firm where the cost was over €9.
