Maynooth University Literary and Debating Society's Annual LifeRaft Debate

Monday, June 22, 2020 - 12:45

Dr Mark Walsh represented Mathematics and Statistics at the Maynooth University Literary and Debating Society's Annual LifeRaft Debate. The debate takes place between representatives of various academic departments who must argue why their department deserves to be "saved" in a hypothetical disaster situation. Despite winning the judges vote at last year's event, Dr Walsh had to make do with second place this year, narrowly losing out to Professor Mary Corcoran of Sociology.
The event took place in March 2020 and proceeds raised by this year's debate went to Ataxia Foundation Ireland.
