UCC Philosoph at Worlds - Break

Unfortunately, none of the UCC Philosophical Society or UCC Law Society teams managed to break in Worlds. Commiserations to them, but they did a brilliant job of representing UCC in the largest student debating competition in the world. The UCC Law Society judges did not break either, however congratulations to Deirdre Milner of the UCC Philosoph who managed to break as a judge.

Well done guys and enjoy your time in Turkey!
