In Aer Lingus we derive much satisfaction from the knowledge that so many thousands of Irish students in all parts of our island spend valuable time and effort in preparing an exhibit for entry in this great annual festival of science. Undoubtedly this 1982 catalogue, like those of previous years, will list the names of many who are destined to attain the highest levels of competence and leadership in their chosen fields; and we are pleased to know that a high proportion will find it beneficial from time to time in the years immediately ahead to draw attention to their such Clearly, event. the in participation participation is now firmly established as an endorsement of special talents allied to a keen desire for high personal achievement. Those are among the rich qualities of youth that are vital to progress in any modern society.

Again, it is a pleasure to offer on behalf of the sponsors and all those associated with this exhibition, our warmest congratulations to the 1981 Young Scientist of the Year, Miss Catherine Conlon (Muckross Park College, Dublin), on her fine success at the Philips-sponsored European contest for Young Scientists and Inventors, held in Brussels last May. She competed against thirtyfive other entrants from fifteen countries, and emerged as co-winner of the top award. Of our six entrants to date in that prestigious event three were outright winners, one placed in the top five, another in the top seven, and Miss Conlon a cowinner of the top award. Apart from representing a daunting challenge to future Irish entrants, we believe that record provides an encouraging testimony to the standards prevailing in Irish scientific training.

Aer Lingus acknowledges again with gratitude the work, dedication and support of many people in mounting this eighteenth annual exhibitionamong them, the teachers of science subjects in our schools and colleges; our panel of eminent and talented judges; the Department of Education, the National Board for Science and Technology (for a significant grant and practical participation); AnCO (The Industrial Training Authority) and the Irish Heart Foundation for interesting feature displays; and the Royal Dublin Society for its 3

generous co-operation. Our thanks also to Philips Electrical (Ireland) who sponsor our winners' participation in their European contest; and to the prize-giving and companies many other organisations, whose names we list elsewhere in
