Fionn Glynn from Rice College in Ennis competed at the National Final of the 18th All Ireland Linguistics Olympiad (AILO), hosted by the ADAPT Centre at Dublin City University (DCU) recently. The 100 finalists represented 56 secondary schools from 20 counties across the whole island and are competing for the chance to represent Ireland at the International Linguistics Olympiad in Bucharest, Romania this July. AILO is run by ADAPT, the Research Ireland Centre for AI-driven Digital Content Technology. These transferable skills are critical in preparing young people for a wide range of careers in computing, linguistics and language. The results of the AILO final will be released mid-March.
