The Nenagh Schools’ Public Speaking Competition organised by Nenagh Lions Club, took place in the Main Council Chamber in Tipperary County Council Civic Offices yesterday. We are very proud of our team, Sebastian Siwek (Captain), Killian Lane, Blanca Wrona and Xander Gregan, who eloquently discussed the topic, ‘Lough Derg – local amenity or natural resource?’ with powerful, well researched speeches. Well done! Thanks to Nenagh Lions Club for organising and Tipperary County Council for hosting this event. The team are pictured with their medals, together with Mr. Don O’Brien, Nenagh Lions Club, Ms. Mairead Sammon, English Teacher and Ms. Catherine O’Keeffe, TY Co-ordinator.
