Galway students Sorcha Ní Choncarraige and Oisín Dilger competed for the title of ‘Ireland’s top young problem solver’ at the national final of the ADAPT Centre’s All Ireland Linguistics Olympiad recently.
The students, who hail from Coláiste an Eachréidh, will find out the results of the competition soon.
From a starting line-up of 4,000 students, the top 100 linguistic problem solvers tested their minds with complex puzzles in unfamiliar languages at the national final which took place at DCU.
The winners will continue on to the international final in Korea later this year.
