Glenswilly National School emerged victorious in the County Final of the Concern Primary Schools Debates competition which was held last Wednesday.
The two participating schools, Scoil Mhuire Gan Smál, Letterkenny, and Glenswilly NS, went head to head debating the motion: ‘The business sector has the most important role in achieving the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) in Ireland.’
The debate was of a very high standard and the pupils from both schools were excellent in proposing and opposing this motion.

In the end the three adjudicators made the difficult decision that the school proposing the motion was carried, which meant that Glenswilly NS were the winners.
The event was organised by the Donegal Education Support Centre and the Director Kieran Mc Taggart commended both schools, the pupils and their teachers on their achievement. He thanked the principal at Glenwilly NS, Joseph Gallinagh and his staff for the warm welcome and for hosting the event.
