FIVE hard-working Limerick secondary school students will be honoured at the University Concert Hall in Castletroy today (September 16) when they are awarded as part of the All-Ireland Scholarships programme.

Pablo Morrissey-Fernandez and Seamus Murphy (Colรกiste รde agus Iosaef), Julieta Brennan Vacas and Tamara Orosz (Castletroy College), and Rachel Walsh (Scoil Pรณl Kilfinane) are the five Limerick recipients of this yearโ€™s All-Ireland Scholarships, sponsored by JP McManus.

To date, 1,674 students have been awarded across Ireland with the prize, which sees the full costs of their third-level education covered throughout the duration of their studies.

The majority of last yearโ€™s recipients went on to study science, engineering, pharmacy, finance, and medicine.
