On Saturday last night our debating team consisting of Rebecca Enright, Anneka Dunne, Katie Guerin and James Kelleher (L-R in photo) beat an enthusiastic Kerry Macra team to progress to next round of the national senior debating competition. Rebecca also was awarded the ‘Best Debater’ accolade on the night of the four teams competing. They will compete again on the 23rd of March, opposition and venue TBC.
