Concern Debating

Congratulations to our Concern team who won their second debate at the start of December.

This time our team - Martha McGarry,  Aoibhin Tutty Bardon, Michael Cash and Tadhg Ryan (with Laura Hannon acting as chairperson for this debate) proposed the motion ‘The Ebola epidemic demonstrates the international  communities' indifference to Africa' against a team from St Kevin's , Dunlavin. Both teams really engaged with the arguments presented and the standard of rebuttal was good. In the end, the motion was carried and Newbridge College won the debate.

Our next debate is in January, when we are proposing the motion 'Scotland should have voted for independence'. The debate will take place in the College and all support is welcome.
