A young entrepreneur at Coláiste Eamann Rís in Callan has been named as one of Ireland’s top young business minds.
Mark Srouji, a Third Year student at the school, represented Kilkenny at Intermediate level in the national Student Enterprise Awards finas, recently, and took away the top award in his category ‘My Entrepreneurial Journey.’ Earlier this year Mark set up a business called Mark’s Productions making themed table centrepieces.
He told the Kilkenny People that he got the idea for the venture when his aunt was looking for centrepieces for her wedding and realised he could make them cheaper than any they saw online.

THE integrity of Bolton’s entire planning system was at stake with the Grundy Fold part-built homes inquiry, a leading councillor has said. On Wednesday, the Planning Inspectorate rejected appeals from the owners to save the five luxury million pound detached properties, at Grundy Fold Farm. They were built outside the agreed permission, on an open, rural, hillside off Chorley Old Road, between Horwich and Doffcocker. The ruling means that enforcement action issued in 2018 from Bolton Council to demolish the homes remains in place and must be done within the next 12 months. Ward councillor and cabinet member Andy Morgan said if the inspector had ruled that the homes could remain where they are and be completed it could have led to to a free for all for developers in the borough.
