Fair play to her!

Google has been really getting on board with the centenary celebrations, and their Google Doodle today is no exception.

Drawn by 12-year-old Cork girl Mia Buckley, it was chosen as the winner of the Doodle 4 Google competition which was run this year with the theme, ‘Ireland Is’.

She titled her drawing; ‘Ireland Is A Land So Green’, and it’s a really lovely tribute to our island, that will be seen for the entirety of Easter Monday on the Google homepage.

According to Ireland 2016, the drawing;  ‘celebrates Irish heritage from many perspectives, including sport, music, and agriculture.’

Mia received a €5,000 university scholarship along with a Google Chromebook. Her school, meanwhile, received a €10,000 technology grant from Google.

Nice work.
