The announcement was made at an awards ceremony held at Dublin City Hall which saw teachers and pupils from 52 primary schools across Ireland gather to celebrate achieving County Winner. Now in its ninth year, the competition, which is organised and funded by the National Disability Authority, allows Ireland’s young people to learn about inclusivity and diversity through the medium of art.
