The Saint Macartan's First Year basketball team made it to the All Ireland "A" competition Quarter Final at the University of Limerick. The team had impressive wins over Rathangan and Presentation Bray by a narrow three points to make it to the Quarter Final. Unfortunately the Quarter Final v The Bish Galway would end the journey for the first year team but they can be proud of the way they represented themselves, their families, their team and the school during the Competition. A huge achievement and a bright future ahead for this team. Well done boys and many thanks to Enda O'Brien and Mr. Coyle for their hard work all year. #SemAbú

Oisin Lavelle and Darragh Todd make it onto the Irish Examiner Science Report. Wifi affects plant growth, find budding scientists.Two budding scientists concerned about the effect of electricity pylons on crops have found that electromagnetic radiation from wifi has a significant effect on plant growth. Third-year students, Oisín Lavelle and Darragh Todd, both 14, from St Macartan’s College, Monaghan, used lettuce seeds for their project and a wifi modem used in most homes. “Pylons emit the same radiation waves as wifi so we wanted to see if the wifi had an effect on plant growth,” said Darragh. The duo, whose project is one of 550 entered in this year’s BT Young Scientist and Technology Exhibition, grew the lettuce seeds in controlled environments. “We limited the conditions so they would be the same, but one seed tray was exposed to wifi and the other wasn’t,” said Oisín. After 42 days, the students found 24 seeds germinated in the wifi zone and 38 in the controlled one. They also found a significant difference in leaf area, and believe their findings could add to concern about Eirgrid’s plans to build a huge number of pylons around the country.
