Three St Brigid's Presentation students love a good Irish debate and it shows as they have once again made it to a regional final.

Elizabeth Roche (Captain), Muireann O'Donoghue and Sinéad Byrne have reached the regional finals of the Gael Linn Irish Debating Competition for the second year in a row.

"The girls have shown their excellent Irish language abilities through debating, particularly challenging motions such as 'We should put an end to the school uniform', 'The Standard of Living is better in the countryside than in the city' and 'The policies of the Green Party are doing good for our standard of living'," Teacher Michelle Clifford said.

"Maith-sibh a chailíní as an sár-obair atá déanta agaibh lenár dteanga dhúchais! 'Tír gan teanga, tír gan anam'."
