I Wish founders named Cork Persons of the Month for March

March's 'Cork Person of the Month' goes to three remarkable Cork businesswomen and social entrepreneurs.

Ruth Buckley, Gillian Keating, and Caroline O'Driscoll established 'I Wish' - Inspiring Women in STEM - in 2014, which aims to encourage female secondary school students to pursue careers in science technology, engineering and mathematics.

Since the first I Wish event in 2015, more than 7,000 students have taken part in Cork and Dublin, with campus days expanding the reach of the event further over the last few years.
