Warm thanks to artist Ian Kelly on the completion of this beautiful bog oak sculpture entitled, “Emergence”. This very special piece was commissioned by Scariff Community College to be the Edna O’Brien perpetual award for writing in our school. The project was funded by Creative Ireland and Ian, who himself is a past pupil.

You must stop deforestation
“Nature is heaven on Earth”
You are wrong
When will you realise
Everything has a price
I believe
The monumental advancement made in this lifetime is worth the cost
You are wrong to assume that

When you can have these things
They are wrong
“The sole meaning of life is to serve …
