Several students from Limerick and Clare Education and Training Board Community Colleges and Community Schools are amongst a list of students who have been awarded the prestigious ‘Entrance Exhibition Awards’ for the 2024/5 academic year by Trinity College Dublin.
These awards recognise academic excellence and are presented to students achieving the highest points among Trinity College entrants from their respective schools. They celebrate the dedication, perseverance, and hard work of the recipients.
Donncha Ó Treasaigh, Acting Chief Executive of Limerick and Clare Education and Training Board, congratulated all the students from the region and commended their schools for their role in nurturing academic excellence: “This is an outstanding achievement for the students and their schools, and we are delighted that so many of the recipients attended Limerick and Clare Education and Training Board Community Colleges and Community Schools.”
The awards are given to students who achieve a minimum of 500 CAO points (or its equivalent) in their Leaving Certificate or other secondary school exams, including bonus points for Mathematics. When multiple students from a school attain the same high score, all are recognised. This year, a total of 593 students from 452 schools across Ireland, along with international recipients from 38 countries, were celebrated for their remarkable accomplishments.
The Limerick and Clare students who received the awards were:
- Daire Enright – Coláiste Iósaef

- Shirley Liu – Castletroy College
- Sarah Fahy – Gaelcholáiste Luimnigh

- Lauren Arthur – St. Anne’s Community College, Killaloe
- Kaloyan Georgiev and Jack Keane – St. Caimin’s Community School

The awards were presented during three ceremonies held at Trinity College Dublin’s Old Dining Hall on January 21st, 2025. The events were attended by the awardees, their school principals, and representatives from Limerick and Clare Education and Training Board, further emphasising the vital role played by the school community in supporting these students and fostering the next generation of scholars and leaders.
