Concern Debating
 

Hi everybody,
writing this post to let you know of a group of Transition Year students partaking in debates organised by Concern. Each year Concern sets up a large competition for transition year students, different schools debate over challenging and thought-provoking motions. We recently prepared ourselves for a debate with the motion "Genetically modified food is essential in the fight against world hunger." Unfortunately the other school were not able to make it and were forced to forfeit. Tomorrow we'll be travelling to Youghal to oppose the motion "Multi-national Corporations are cleaning up their act." Admittedly a hard debate to prepare for but not impossible. Wish us luck!
