YESTERDAY we told you about the winners of Kerry Local Enterprise Office (LEO) Student Enterprise awards held at the ITT on Friday (click here for previous story and photos).
In total there was over 50 stands from schools all over the county with projects ranging from cookbooks to mobile accessories, entries embracing ever-changing technology and ones with a nod to Kerry’s rich heritage and past.
“The students are really inspirational, they’ve put in a huge amount of work. We’ve lots of innovative ideas here and many really viable businesses coming out of it,” said one of the judges, Caroline McEnery.
One of the organisers involved, Margaret Murphy of Kerry LEO, was impressed with what she saw this year.
“The students have put an awful lot of work in since last September. They enjoy it, there’s a great buzz around the place,” said Margaret Murphy.
