Congratulations to the winner of the Sustainable Development Goals (SDG) Award entitled ‘Vision Zero’, represented by Christina Whelan, Tara Johnson and Caitlin Cussen pupils of the Ursuline Secondary School, here in Thurles, Co. Tipperary.

Ten teams represented Ireland at the Junk Kouture World Final held in Dublin last evening, together with 50 other finalists from the UK, US, Italy, France and the UAE.
