Ballyhaunis Community School played host to an inter-school debate friendly on Friday, the 4th of April. Debaters from Glenamaddy, Castlerea and Ballyhaunis took part in a day of heated debate and discussion.

There were three rounds of debate, covering motions such as “This House believes that AI is a force for good” and “This House would emigrate.” Sixteen speakers took on the challenge with aplomb.BCS ultimately claimed the top prize.

Congratulations to our three teams, who spoke passionately on the day. Well done to Lily Kelly, Ethan Collins, Charagh Higgins, Molly Cunniffe, Julian Turner, Aaron Reid and their mentors Shay Collins and Jenny Mahe.
