As a winner Conleth will get to enjoy a trip in late January visiting Stormont, Dail Eireann and the European Parliament in Strasbourg. He will take part in several debates in Strasbourg. He will also join over 500 students from all over Europe in ‘a day’s business’ at the EU. Ballycastle Rotary are sponsoring their representative Conleth, and he wants to say thanks to them, as well as to Mrs McCallum for “all the organising,” as Conleth put it.
