Text
I congratulate a school in my constituency — St Patrick's College, Maghera — on its successful attainment of the MacRory Cup yesterday. They came from behind to beat Abbey Vocational School from Donegal by one point. In doing so, they won a seventeenth MacRory — a massive achievement for the school. I offer hearty congratulations to the management, players and everybody involved at St Pat's. I am sure that they will enjoy the celebrations and rightly so.
