“Alcohol consumption: does the apple fall far from the tree?”
Ireland’s Eimear Murphy and Ian O’Sullivan, both aged just 17 and from Coláiste Treasa in Kanturk, Co Cork, have won a major EU science prize for their Social Science project "Alcohol consumption: does the apple fall far from the tree?"
Eimear and Ian won Intel’s ISEF prize – this means INTEL will bring them to their International Science and Engineering Fair (ISEF), the world’s largest international pre-college science competition. ISEF takes place in Arizona in May 2016.
Eimear and Ian won Ireland’s BT Young Scientists competition earlier this year.
And Cork scored again with a special EXPO prize for Mark O’Dowd, 16, of Glanmire Community School for his work on "Injury Increasing Crop Yields". Mark gets a lap-top and a one-day visit to the EU’s specialist research centre at Ispra in Italy.
