Students’ cattle rearing project makes national final

Two Killarney school girls have been successful with their cattle rearing project - making it to the finals this April.
Molly O'Connor and Aoife O'Donoghue from St Brigid's Presentation Killarney have been learning all about agriculture and the food industry in the Certified Irish Angus Schools Competition.
Now they will get to exhibit their project idea to a panel of Agri-food industry experts in Croke Park on April 1.
A record number of over 140 school groups entered this year’s competition and Molly and Aoife made it through to the second round which was an interview stage in January along with 65 other groups.
The girls are now one of 15 groups who have made it through the finals so massive credit is due to them.
The Certified Irish Angus Schools Competition, run in association with its processing partners ABP and Kepak, aims to encourage second-level students to gain an understanding about the care and attention that is required to produce and market the highest quality Irish Angus beef for consumers. The initiative challenges groups of students to rear five Certified Irish Angus calves for 18 months and carry out research on a chosen topic.

The Dóchas Drama Group will run a series of short plays at the Muckross Schoolhouse from December 5 to 7.
The group’s annual performance has been switched to the Muckross venue as its traditional base – the ballroom in the Killarney Avenue Hotel is being refurbished.
“If you are fed up with the incessant rain and constant bad news. Do you need a break? Are tired of listening to advice about your Christmas cake recipe? There is a perfect solution,” said the group’s Liz Ryan.
“We will present six short plays and some of the questions you may ask yourself are:
“Why is Jane suddenly so honest?
“What did happen on December 9. Will Tiffany be promoted? Will Mags eventually find love?
“Can lost love be re-kindled? What do grandparents get up to when they’re babysitting?
For answers to these questions and more, come along to Muckross Schoolhouse on December 5, 6 and 7.”
