"Oh what a night" was the title of a hit song by the Four Seasons many years ago and it can also describe last Thursday night in The Hibernian Hotel, Mallow where Speak Easy Toastmasters hosted the second Inter Schools Public Speaking Contest
Yes, it certainly was a fantastic night of speeches which ranged from a cup of tea to hip hop beef, to teachers, the irish language and many subjects in between.
