“The Thomas F. Meagher foundation were once again thrilled with number and quality of the entries to this year’s awards and scholarship programme 2024. The young people of Ireland clearly understand the meaning and relevance of the Irish tricolour flag’s symbolism.
The message of inclusion and peace was expressed with real creativity in each of the award categories. The number of entries we received far exceeded that of past years and we are very proud of all students for the passion they have shown this year, way beyond our expectations.
We also would like to sincerely thank you – our students’ educators for encouraging your students to take part in the Thomas F. Meagher Foundation annual awards and learn about the history and important message of peace behind the Irish flag.” – Clive Byrne, Chair of the Foundation.
