10 talented students recognised with Dún Laoghaire Rathdown County Council and IADT Sponsored Sports Scholarships

The recipients come from a diverse array of sports categories including football, volleyball, kickboxing, hockey, taekwondo, hurling, surfing, and rugby and were selected from a highly competitive pool of applicants and stood out as top-performers both in the classroom and in their chosen sport.

Frank Curran, Chief Executive, Dún Laoghaire Rathdown County Council, said:

We are proud to celebrate the achievements of these exceptional student-athletes who have worked hard to excel in both academics and sports. Participating in a sport can impart numerous benefits, making friends, getting away from the stresses of college life, and most importantly, good for our mental health.
