Concern Debates Final 2015

I was delighted to be at the final of Concern's Schools Debates programme again this year. It always reminds me how AWESOME Ireland's young people are and that the next generation, though they face many challenges created by us, are smart, caring and optimistic. I was on stage at the Helix with the young debaters, desperately trying to keep up with their rapid-fire rebuttals and passionate polemics. In the end the team proposing the motion "The European Union is Failing Africa" won out. What do you think?
