BEECH Hill College students once again took part in Barúil, the Irish public speaking competition organised by Gael Linn. This year Grace Norris and Tessa Fleming represented the school in the senior category of the competition. Tessa Fleming secured a place in the regional final, which recently took place in Donegal. There she captivated her audience’s attention with her speech, delivered through the medium of Irish, on ‘Nuclear Power in Ireland’. Tessa was awarded second place in this section and was presented with the much-coveted Gael Linn trophy. Well done to both participants.
