Debating Awards 2025
This week we celebrated our English and Irish debaters at our annual awards ceremony. There is a strong tradition of debating at Naas CBS, and this year was no different. The English debate team competed in the Concern Debate competition, while the Irish debate team competed in Comórtas Uí Phiarsaigh, run by Gael Linn.
The most improved speaker for English went to Tawheed Haque and the most improved speaker for Irish went to Shane Whelan.
The award for Speaker of the Year is in memory of Cormac Clare. This year’s recipient was Cillian O’Brien.
Well done to all the students involved for their commitment and contribution to Debating in the school. Thanks to Ms. Dalton, Ms. Kelly and Ms. Fleming for their work with the teams all year.
Ms. Meaney and Ms. O’Donovan
