‘Race is on’ for Irish schools

News likely to appeal to teachers and pupils looking to get 2024 off to a healthy start is the announcement from three of Ireland’s best-known athletes – World Para Rowing champion, Katie O’Brien and Olympians, sprinters Phil Healy and David Gillick – that Fyffes search to find ‘Ireland’s fittest school 2024’ has now gone live.

Running until the end of March, the top four schools in Ireland, north and south, will progress to a live ‘grand final’ at which the prize package will include €8,000 worth of sports equipment.
