Young Scientist - Harness our potential

The success of third-year students Ciara Judge, Emer Hick, and Sophie Healy-Throw of Kinsale Community School in winning the BT Young Scientist & Technology Exhibition at the weekend should act as an inspiration to young people throughout the country.

This was the third time representatives from that community school have won the award in the past seven years.

This reflects enormous credit on themselves, as well as on their teachers and the community that inspired them. It should also act as an inspiration to young people throughout the country.
