The Irish League of Credit Unions (ILCU) held the Credit Union Schools Quiz All-Ireland final recently and a Laois group took home medals
In a gripping final at the RDS in Dublin which took place on Sunday, April 7, 90 teams battled it out.
Emo National School were named as Joint Runners-up in the U-13 Competition.
The team, James Cosgrove, Pierce Milner, Caolán Gilliard and Caoimhe Coffey, were representing Portarlington Credit Union.
This year’s competition was fiercely contested, with teams demonstrating exceptional acumen and teamwork.
The questions, covering a wide range of topics, challenged the contestants to dig deep into their reserves of knowledge and quick thinking.
The event was brought to life by the cheers and support from families, friends, and teachers.
Renowned presenter John Sharpson, known to many as Múinteoir John, hosted the final, adding to the excitement of the occasion.
This year’s quiz journey began several months ago, with over 25,000 students from schools across the island participating in local and regional rounds.
The competition, structured into two sections, Competition A for children U-11 and Competition B for children U-13, challenged young minds and fostered a spirit of learning and collaboration.
The quiz is an important part of the ILCU’s youth outreach programme, which aims to demonstrate the value of local credit unions to children and young people.
The ILCU is the largest credit union representative body on the island of Ireland, working on behalf of member credit unions in the Republic of Ireland and Northern Ireland.
