The Barra Flynn Memorial Scholarship 2021

Tormeys Solicitors LLP provides an annual Scholarship to Leaving Certificate students from the Athlone, Moate, Ferbane, Ballymahon, Roscommon, Ballinasloe and Tullamore school areas.
This fund is awarded to students that attain the highest Leaving Certificate points and who have chosen to pursue a legal course at a third-level institution in 2021.

This is the 29th presentation of the scholarship, and whilst there are now a number of scholarships presented by corporate bodies within the Athlone area, Tormeys Solicitors was the first to embrace this incentive to encourage young adults to study law.
The scholarship fund in total is valued at over €2,500 with €1,200 for 1st place, €600 for 2nd place and €300 for 3rd place. It is payable for one year to students attending a faculty of law in any university or Institute of Technology, in the Republic of Ireland. To recognise the school’s contribution, Tormeys donate the sum of €500 to the winning school.
In 2000 to commemorate the Millennium, Tormeys introduced the presentation of a perpetual trophy to the school with the highest cumulative points for law students within that year. The winner of the 2021 school prize is Athlone Community College.
The 1st place student winner this year is Emma McDermott of Glasson Athlone, daughter of Patrick and Lucille McDermott and past pupil of Athlone Community College. Emma is now studying Law at Trinity College.
2nd place winner is Emmanuelle Besler, Daughter of Valerie Besler and past pupil of Our Lady’s Bower, Athlone. Emmanuelle is now studying Law and Politics in UCD.
3rd place winner is Ebunoluwa Jamgbadi, daughter of Abimbola and Kayode Jamgbadi and past pupil of Our Lady’s Bower. Ebunoluwa is now studying Economics, Politics and Law at DCU.
Tormeys Solicitors would like to thank all the applicants who participated in the scholarship and wish them all the best in their future careers.
