After an extremely entertaining evening of speechmaking, the team from Glanmire Macra, Seandun, Co. Cork were named this year's Public Speaking champions while Freemount Macra, Avondhu came second. The team from Glanmire included Marella Fitzgerald, Bertie Cuffe and Caitriona O’Connor.
This year's final of the Public Speaking competition took place last Saturday, the 15th in the Hibernian Hotel in Mallow. The team from Glanmire have now won themselves places on the Macra Prize-winner’s Trip which will take place later this year.
The winner of the Best Speaker Award on the night was Mary Phelan from Camross Macra in Laois.
Speaking at the final, Michael Gowing, Macra na Feirme National President, said, “Congratulations to the Glanmire team on their win. I commend all four teams who made it to the final of the competition. Macra’s speaking competitions are held in high regard and I encourage all members to get involved in these competitions in the future.”
