On Thursday, the Minister for Higher Education, accompanied by Kerry TD Brendan Griffin, paid a visit to senior students in St Brendan's College to give them some sound advice.
He was welcomed to the school by Principal Seán Coffey, Deputy Principal Bridget Lucey, Board of Management Chairperson Lorna Larkin, and Student Council members Kasper Bogalecki and Ethan Fleming.
And students had their questions at the ready.
"His visit was to speak to Fifth Years about new CAO options he has introduced," Principal Seán Coffey told the Killarney Advertiser.
"He's expanding the CAO to include apprenticeships. He's trying to broaden the number of courses available. He's promoting a change of mindset with apprenticeships in schools. It was a Q&A session and it broadened to Ukraine, single sex education and church ownership of schools," he said.
"He was really open and forthright with students and he visited our new support centre, the Brendan Centre, for special education classes."
