We thank Millstreet Community School Science Teacher, Eileen Lyons for very kindly reporting from this year’s prestigious BTYSTE in Dublin’s RDS and for sharing a superb selection of images from the highly regarded annual event. Normally, I have attended over past years on the Thursday of the Exhibition recording a radio feature but of course have been prevented from doing so this year still being snowbound! Here we share Eileen’s splendid Report and image selection which also includes a picture of Photographer supreme, Mark Condren, three time Photo Journalist of the Year. Tap on the images to enlarge.

Eileen says: “We travelled by train yesterday (7th Jan. 2025) from Millstreet on the 8. 15am service to Heuston. We’ve three groups at this year’s BT Young Scientist competition which is the 61th BT young scientist competition and the 25th year BT are sponsors. The groups are as follows: Kate Lynch and Evelyn Smyth can be seen at stand 1508 with their project “A statistical analysis of how frequent ligament injuries have become in recent years in males v females”; Anna Buckley, Meabh Casey and Saoirse Kiely can be found at stand number 5518 with their project “An assessment of the reliability of weather proverbs in a time of climate change” and Daniel Bourke at stand 2114 with his project on “Putting the buzz into Millstreet: building on local initiatives to raise awareness of pollinator conservation in my town”.
Every success to the wonderfully dedicated Students from MCS.
