St. Macartan’s Success at Schools District Cross Country After completing a clean sweep at all grades in the County Monaghan Schools Cross Country Championships, the St. Macartan’s College athletics team were quietly confident as they set off for the Ulster Schools District D Cross Country Championships which took place at the Mallusk Sports Grounds in County Antrim on February 5th last. Saint Macartan’s College got off to a flying start with Oisin Fagan, an athlete to watch out for, leading the minor boys race to victory without breaking his stride. Oisín was closely followed home by Jack Murphy in 8th place seeing both boys qualify for the Ulster Minor boys final. The Junior Boys were up next with another strong team. Andrew McKenna was St. Macartan’s lead athlete, returning home in 5th place. Andrew was followed by Killian Conlon who was placed 7th with Jamie McMahon in 8th and Lorcan O’Rourke in 9th. Oisin McElwain, Kyle McDonald and Gavin McKenna finished the team places to see the Sem boys placed first junior team and comfortably qualify for the Ulster finals. The Intermediate boys faced a tough race. Ultan O’Rourke led the race up to the last hundred meters and finished in second place. Séan McElwain ran a steady race finishing in 8th place scoring valuable points for the team. Darragh Corrigan, running in intermediate for his first time came in at 19th with Shane McCabe, the teams only Second Year runner finishing well up the field. Another tough encounter beckons for this team in the Ulster Intermediate finals. In the final race of the day Paul Peppard set a blistering pace and after a strong last two hundred was followed home by Evan Cudden to finish in 6th and 7th places respectively. Jonathon Mc Carron finished well followed by the recently returned from injury James Mc Kenna who ran a very consistent race. Ryan Drayne finished very strong to see the St. Macartan’s boys take 2nd place overall behind the highly fancied Royal School Armagh. St. Macartan’s College athletics coach Mr. Karl Kildea was high in his praise for his team who never gave up on the day. He was particularly delighted for the team members who have trained diligently with their clubs and the school during the winter months.

Niall McManus a Transition Year student at St. Macartan’s College Monaghan recently took part in a schedule of events hosted by Rotary Ireland and the European Commission in Belfast, Dublin and Strasbourg. In January, the Monaghan town based student Niall travelled to Belfast, where he met 23 other aspiring young leaders from throughout Ireland. The students qualified for this trip by completing a series of interviews which examined their leadership qualities and knowledge of current affairs. Day one in Belfast saw the young leaders visit Belfast City Hall, where they met Lord Mayor Nichola Mallon, and visited the plenary chamber. This was followed by a visit to the European Commission office in Belfast. The group then travelled to Stormont, where they were treated to a tour of the buildings. The tour was followed by a question and answer session with MLAs including Megan Fearon (Sinn Féin), Sammy Douglas (DUP) and Roy Beggs (UUP), Ross Brown (Green Party) and Trevor Lunn (Alliance). After visiting Belfast the Euroscholars travelled to Dublin where they visited the European Commission office. The group was introduced to the mechanics of the EU and its operation on a Europe wide level. Niall and the group were then interviewed by reporters from the Irish Independent about what changes they would implement if they were the political leaders of Ireland. This was followed by a visit to Dáil Eireann where a tour of Oireachtas buildings was followed by a question and answer sessions with TDs, Deputy Minister for Finance Simon Harris (Fine Gael) and Joe Costello (Labour). After leaving Government buildings, the group flew to Frankfurt, where they spent the night. A tour of Frankfurt was followed by a bus journey to Strasbourg. This included a visit to the European Parliament for the Euroscholar event. This event consisted of 500 tenagers made up of 24 people each from 22 EU member states. The participants took part in a range of debates on topical events in the EU parliament’s debating chamber known as the Hemisphere. The Irish team completely outperformed every other national team at the event by placing over 50% of the questions posed at the mock parliament, had 7 out of the 12 spokespeople elected for the debates with a highlight for the group and Niall McManus in particular his winning the Eurogame. This saw Niall teamed up with Greek, French and Czech participants to complete a quiz in 24 different languages. On returning to Monaghan and speaking with the Northern Standard, Niall McManus thanked everybody involved in organising the Euroschola event. He mentioned in particular Barra Flynn and the members of Monaghan Rotary who promote and support this event at a local level in Co. Monaghan.
