Donegal school wins anti-racism competition

A Donegal primary school has scooped the top prize at this year's Show Racism the Red Card Creative Competition.

St Eunan's in Raphoe won a laptop for their school in recognition of their innovative mosaic of signed cards from high profile people, including the Taoiseach Enda Kenny and footballer Shay Given.

Over 120 schools participated in the competition - which asked pupils to come up with different ways to get across an anti racism message.

Co-ordinator of Show Racism the Red Card Garrett Mullen said: "We have an education pack which features top sports stars from the Irish soccer team to hurling players and League of Ireland players.

"The idea of the creative competition was to invite schools to do some work to make an impact on the issue of racism and integration within their own community."
