Tormeys Solicitors LLP announce results of the Barra Flynn Memorial Scholarship 2022

Tormeys Solicitors LLP, one of the longest established and largest Solicitors firms in the Midlands, were delighted to announce the winners of the Barra Flynn Memorial Scholarship 2022 following a presentation at their offices recently.

In terms of the history of the Scholarship, Tormeys Solicitors LLP provides an annual scholarship to Leaving Certificate students from the Athlone, Moate, Ferbane, Ballymahon, Roscommon, Ballinasloe and Tullamore School areas.

The fund is awarded to students that attain the highest Leaving Certificate points and who have chosen to pursue a legal course at a Third Level Institution.

This is the 30th Annual presentation of the Scholarship and whilst there are now a number of scholarships presented by Corporate Bodies in the Athlone area, Tormeys Solicitors was the first to embrace this incentive to encourage young adults to study law.

The Scholarship Fund in total is valued at over €2,500.00 with €1,200.00 for First Place, €600.00 for Second Place and €300.00 for Third Place. To recognise the school’s contribution, Tormeys Solicitors also donates the sum of €500.00 to the winning school.

In 2000, to commemorate the Millennium, Tormeys Solicitors LLP introduced the presentation of the Perpetual Trophy to the school with the highest cumulative points for law students within that year. The winner of the 2022 School Prize was Athlone Community College.

The First Place Student winner of 2022 was Ellie Keaveney, daughter of Hilary and John and past pupil of Moate Community School. Ellie is now studying law and history at Trinity College, Dublin.

This year saw joint Second Place winners, Emily Sheehan, daughter of Maria and Barry and past pupil of Athlone Community College and Liam Hennelly, son of Des and Eileen, and also a past pupil of Athlone Community College. Emily is currently studying law and history at Trinity College while Liam is studying business and law at UCD.

Tormeys Solicitors would like to thank all of the applicants who participated in the Scholarship and wish them all the best in their future endeavours.
