Transition Year History class Ard Mhaca entered the Secondary Schools Hugh O\u2019Flaherty Memorial Competition recently. They learnt about the actions of Monsignor Hugh O\u2019Flaherty during the Second World War (6,500 people were saved from the Nazis thanks to O\u2019Flaherty\u2019s efforts) and students were challenged to write a poem inspired by his actions. A memorial weekend is held annually to celebrate the humanitarian work of the Monsignor and prizes are awarded to students. The judges commended the high standard of entries from Ard Mhaca and Glenn \u00d3 Faircheallaigh received the winning prize for his poem \u2018What\u2019s Wrong with the World?\u2019 The judges commented that \u2018the poem is well thought out, well-crafted with excellent punctuation and the poet has a clear understanding of the message which he is attempting to put across, which has been done successfully.\u2019 The poem can be read below. Glenn received a cert, a \u20ac100 cheque and an invitation to the official opening of the Monsignor Hugh O\u2019Flaherty Commemorative Weekend in Killarney. Amongst the events were a speech given by the American ambassador, Kevin O’Malley, and the awarding of the annual Monsignor Hugh O\u2019Flaherty Humanitarian Award to Fr Sean Myres for his work in Brazil. Past winners of the prize have included Tomi Reichental (a Nazi concentration camp survivor) and D\u00f3nal Walsh (who suffered with cancer but spent his final years campaigning to raise awareness about mental health issues). Our students had a chance to attend a talk given by D\u00f3nal\u2019s father last year on mental health. Maith th\u00fa Glenn!<\/p>\n

What\u2019s Wrong With The World?<\/span><\/p>\n

The colour of our skin defines us<\/p>\n

The way we walk, the way we talk<\/p>\n

The way you look and what you say<\/p>\n

Could get you killed one day.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

People getting called names<\/p>\n

Buildings go up in flames<\/p>\n

We have soldiers dying<\/p>\n

Leaving loved ones crying.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

People call you weird or strange<\/p>\n

Because your ideas aren\u2019t the same<\/p>\n

A world that\u2019s corrupt to the core<\/p>\n

People want money more and more<\/p>\n

No one knows what to do,<\/p>\n

They should take inspiration from Hugh.<\/p>\n
