McHugh praises students who took part in BT Young Scientist & Technology Exhibition

Minister of State for the Diaspora and International Development, Joe McHugh TD, has this evening presented the Irish Aid-sponsored ‘Science for Development’ Award to Jack O’Connor and Diarmuid Curtin from Desmond College Limerick at this year’s BT Young Scientist & Technology Exhibition.

Jack O’Connor and Diarmuid Curtin won the Award for their “Ergonomic Planter” project.

Speaking from the RDS, Minister of State McHugh commented: “I congratulate Jack O’Connor and Diarmuid Curtin on all their hard work and on the excellent project which deservedly won the Science for Development Award. I also congratulate all the other students who have produced really impressive projects on global development-related themes.”

“For over 50 years the BT Young Scientist & Technology Exhibition has played an integral role in encouraging Ireland’s young people to realise their full scientific potential.

“I was really inspired meeting students on my visit around the exhibition today. It is wonderful to see young people using their time and scientific expertise to question, explore and examine how to improve the lives of the most vulnerable.

“I am delighted to support an award which encourages teachers and students to develop ideas to reduce poverty and promote social justice in the Global South.

“I see real value here in harnessing the technological innovation and creativity of our young people to support sustainable development.”
