First, I draw Members' attention to the fact that as they were going to bed last night, a very important competition in New York was drawing to a conclusion, namely, the Microsoft Imagine Cup 2011. Each year, Microsoft invites students from all over the world to come up with ideas under a range of headings, including software design, to solve the world's problems. I am delighted to announce to those Members who are not already aware that Institute of Technology Sligo won the top prize in that competition for the design of software that will help to prevent road accidents.
