Entrepreneur praises Buncrana
students
14.12.11
SECONDARY students in
Buncrana have been urged to "reach their potential"
without worrying too much about getting the highest
marks.
“It does not matter about coming first or achieving
the highest marks in your class it just matters that
each person does their very best and reaches their
potential” said Senator Mary White, co-founder of
Lir Chocolates.
She was speaking as guest of honour at a recent
trade fair at Scoil Mhuire, Buncrana, where young
students demonstrated their entrepreneurial flair
with trade stands ranging from cakes to jewellery,
hand-made rocking chairs and beauty items. |

paid tribute to the "exceptionally talented and
polite" young pupils.
“It was a truly inspirational event and it really
showcased the talent of the young people of Ireland.
The fair was a credit to Scoil Mhuire," she added.
