PAL World Championships in New York
The Public Access to Law girls, who were representing Ireland in the World Champioships, got a slightly different New York experience to what they were expecting! Due to the super storm or hurricane Sandy, their stay in New York was extended, but instead of going on a planned shopping expedition on Monday, they were talking to the national media from their hotel room. Their story made the Six One News with Brian Dobson, the radio with Evelyn O'Rourke and the printing press. Thankfully they are all home safe and sound now - thanks to all who helped!
They performed brilliantly in the competition ranking in the top half this year and Niamh Brady got full marks for outstanding witness and won a prize. So well done to all the girls and their mentors. This is the second year in a row that Eureka girls have represented Ireland in the World Championships.
