Greystones Cathaoirleach Councillor Lourda Scott visited exhibitions from secondary schools across Co. Wicklow at the Stripe Young Scientist and Technology Exhibition 2026 today.
Speaking afterwards Cllr Scott says: “I had the pleasure of attending the Young Scientist exhibition and spoke to the students who were presenting their research today . Having worked on a PhD myself I am well aware of the countless hours of preparation that go into this. For young people to come up with such a range of ideas and depth of research was really impressive. I was blown away by the quality of the presentations and each and every student spoke with confidence about their project. They are a great credit to their schools and the support from their teachers was also very clear. Congratulations to everyone involved. The exhibition as a whole was energising and showcases the best that our young people across the country have to offer. I am excited to see what their future holds for them. The exhibition is open until Saturday and I would encourage everyone to drop into the RDS, support our local students and be inspired by what’s on offer.”
