A big congratulations to TY students - Diarmaid Kelly, Katie McCrea and Rory O’ Neill - who made it through to the national finals of the European Youth Parliament (EYP). Well done! The Leinster heat was very competitive with over 400 delegates taking part and only 100 going through to the national final.
In conversation with the students, Diarmaid Kelly explains that, "each of us were on a separate committee based on our own choice. Katie was on the Culture committee, Rory on the AFET (Foreign Affairs) committee and I was on the Economy committee. On the first day each committee had to draft up resolutions based on our chosen topics. On the second day we had to debate and defend our resolutions in General Assembly. These were then put to the floor for a vote. Katie and Rory's resolutions were passed, mine wasn't..."
Rory O'Neill felt that "it was really good being put to stand up in front of a big crowd, with no restrictions on what you could say. It gives you great confidence". Katie McCrea thought that it was great "being able to debate with your peers".
The national final will take place between 2nd March to 4th March next. Best of luck!
Mr. Culliney
