Two Co Clare students, studying at the University of Limerick, have been awarded scholarships by technology giant Intel which has a facility in Shannon.
15 years ago Intel in Ireland launched its Women in Technology scholarship program for the first time. Since then, the program has gone from strength to strength and continues today to form an important part of our wider commitment to advancing diversity and inclusion at every level of our company and the broader industry.
The scholarship program aims to encourage a new generation of high-achieving women to take up the challenge of a career in science and technology and to empower them by fostering educational opportunities.

The Christmas season is a special time for many and provides an opportunity to reflect, to give thanks and to celebrate. Typically, at this time of year, Intel Ireland works closely with local volunteer groups, residents and community organisations to celebrate them and recognise the impact they have on the communities around them.
Intel has supported two groups in particular for over 20 years during the festive season - the senior citizens of Leixlip and the Meals on Wheels organisation.
One of the many highlights of the Intel Christmas calendar is the annual senior citizens Christmas party. Local senior citizens would usually be bussed in their hundreds to a special party but, due to COVID-19 restrictions the usual party could not take place this year.
