Taking Charge of Europe


On Tuesday, Mark O'Reilly, Tanya Murray, Rachel Cleary and Stephen Lowry chaired the meeting of the Mock European Commission at Stormont. Shimna has previously taken part in the Commission in the role of Germany in 2005, Leichtenstein in 2006 and took on the ultimate challenge of the chair this year. A huge amount of research and effort went into the preparation, and our students bought with them a dose of confidence, preparation and chutzpah to carry them through. Word has it our students did a great job, with the debates starting slowly, and building up to really challenging argument. Very well done to all, including Janet Moffat and Clare Murphy who supported our students in taking on the role.
