Success at the 2026 West Cork Regional Finals

Kinsale Community School was proudly represented at the 2026 West Cork Regional Finals of the Enterprise Ireland TY Enterprise Programme, where our students showcased exceptional creativity, professionalism and entrepreneurial flair. 
 
Letti Plant’s business, Plant Media, offers professional Instagram reels for those involved in show jumping, helping riders and businesses promote their name and brand online. Letti presented her enterprise with confidence, clearly outlining her marketing strategy and business development journey. 

Exaucee Muambo’s Blooming Forever impressed with its bespoke, handcrafted bouquets made from pipe cleaners. Her ability to replicate wedding bouquets as lasting keepsakes highlights the creativity and personal touch at the heart of her business. 
 
Heritage Bakes, created by Aislinn McCarthy, brings Irish folklore, history and storytelling to life through homemade truffles, fudge and caramel clusters. Aislinn’s strong branding and engaging sales approach earned her the Sales and Marketing Award — a fantastic and well-deserved achievement. 

Each group showcased their stands with confidence and professionalism, presenting innovative products and explaining the development of their ideas to judges, teachers and fellow students. The standard of competition was outstanding, and our students represented Kinsale Community School with great entrepreneurial spirit. 

A huge well done to all involved, including Caitríona Leahy and Máire Fleming, for their guidance and support throughout the programme. 

We are incredibly proud of all our finalists. The dedication, teamwork and innovation on display remind us that the future of enterprise in West Cork is certainly bright.
