Congratulations to Diarmaid Kelly (3rd Year) who reached the semi-finals opposing the motion that "This House Would Ban Violent Video Games", on Friday 11th February.
On Friday, 11th February, Rory O'Neill and myself took part in the quarter-finals of the L and H Junior debating competition in UCD. Four other schools and two individuals took part in the debate. We were opposing the motion that "This House Would Ban Violent Video Games" and it was a very enjoyable debate. At the end, two school teams and two individuals were chosen to progress to the next round. I was picked to compete as an individual in the semi-finals that will take place in March.
