Students give new lease of life to health of calves

A cleverly designed cattle tag project by second-level students has impressed judges in a science competition.

A team from Pobalscoil Na Tríonóide in Youghal, Co Cork, is the outright winner of the annual Merck Millipore School Science competition 2013.

Judges, from the company and University College Cork, praised the team’s innovative concept, saying they “were taken with the ingenuity of the invention”.
