A Co Monaghan student has turned her passion for helping others into a project entry for the BT Young Scientist and Technology Exhibition. 17-year-old Cliodhna Ward is a first responder within her community and is also part of the senior panel for Aughnamullen GAA. Combining her love for the GAA and saving lives, Cliodhna created the '30 seconds of your time campaign'.
