John, who works with Munster IRFU , asked them to be humble and hardworking and to be the spirit of the Abbey.
Mrs. Marie Collison spoke on behalf of the Parent Council who sponsored the awards in conjunction with Tipperary Credit Union. She compared the student’s impact on the school community to that of the great Canon Hayes who was instrumental in the founding of the Canon Hayes Sports and Recreation Centre in the town as well as the founding of Muintir na Tíre which is still thriving today.
