The winner, Gemma Ó Donoguhe, a 1st year student from Coláiste na Sceilge received a Samsung Galaxy Tablet. The two runners-up, Iizzy Griffin, 2nd year student from Coláiste na Ríochta and Mary Reidy, Transition Year student from Causeway Comprehensive, both received JBL wireless headphones.
Ann O’ Dwyer, Director of Schools, Youth and Music, congratulated the students and added, “Every card submitted demonstrated great artistic talent in our schools. We want to thank every student who entered the competition during this festive season. The winning card will be circulated all over the country as the official Kerry ETB Christmas e-card.”
