The Aoife Begley Memorial Debate Competition Quarter Final will take place on Thursday 27th February at 7pm in Maynooth University. Four students from 3rd-5th year are competing both as individual speakers and teams: Keziah Mongwe (individual), Ellie Haran and Eilis Quinn (team) and Lelaina Butler Whyte (individual) are all competing for a place in the semi final. This competition is highly regarded and students are gaining valuable public speaking skills by competing. We wish the four girls the best of luck next week!
The motions the students are debating against are:
This House Would Use Brexit As The Main Tool In Achieving Irish Unity (Ellie Haran and Eilis Quinn)
This House in An Ideal World Would Value Self Acceptance Over Self Improvement (Lelaina Butler Whyte)
This House Believes The World Is On The Brink Of WWIII (Keziah Mongwe)
