Here s a project an aspiring winner of the BT Young Scientist competition could propose for next year s edition: What is exactly in the water in Kanturk that leads young people attending Coláiste Treasa to do so well in the annual exhibition of the country s brightest and most curious minds?

This being an extraordinary edition of the annual exhibition due to COVID, the virus which has almost brought the world to its knees, Ava and Isobel Hynes brought their considerable scientific talents to bear on the virus with their proposal, a research project into the attitudes of young people to the virus and the vaccine.
