Macra Skills Not Up For Debate

Duhallow celebrates a double whammy of debate success! Well done to Banteer Macra Novice Debate team (above left) on their National Semi Final Win! Collette also took home Best Debater on the night. Donoughmore also saw success with their Senior Debaters (above right) qualifying for the Macra National Debating Final! Both teams have performed incredibly well, best of luck to them both!
