"Our annual Charity Liferaft Debate took place in March, and - thanks to the fantastic lecturers who volunteered to participate in the event - was a huge success. Six brilliant departments (Geography, Sociology, Law, Criminology, French and Maths) battled it out to determine for why they - and they alone - ought to survive the hypothetical sinking of the SS Maynooth. Each Department representative had 7 minutes to prove to the audience why their department deserved that all-important single liferaft remaining on the ship. There were phenomenal speeches all around, with the popular vote revealing the Geography Department as the crowd's winner. The judges, on a split between the between the Geography Department and the Sociology Department, gave Sociology the edge in their vote. A huge well done to all departments involved and a special congratulations to the Geography Department and the Sociology Department! The proceeds from this event, €110.02, went to Ataxia Foundation Ireland. Thank you to everyone who contributed on the night!Liferaft 2020: full post"
