Well done to T. Cannon (Fifth Year History Student) who collected his award on Monday at Leinster House in Dublin. Thomas was the Ulster Senior winner of the Treaty Debates Essay Competition. Senator Mark Daly, Cathaoirleach of Seanad Éireann presented the awards and also in attendance was his History teacher, Mr. K. Mc Taggart and his mother Mrs. H. Cannon.
His essay is about the role and contribution of two local Donegal TDs (Joseph O’ Doherty and Peter Joseph Ward) to the Treaty debates and is currently on display in the County Museum, Letterkenny.
