Doodle 4 Google 2016 — Ireland Winner
This Doodle’s Key Themes
Congratulations to Mia Buckley, of Summercove, Cork. She is the winner of the 2016 Doodle 4 Google competition for Ireland.
In light of the centenary of the events of 1916, we asked the children of Ireland to tell us what Ireland Is... to them. In her submission Mia wrote, "Ireland is a land so green with grazing cattle to be seen. Steeped in rich history with music and sports so fine. I love this Irish home of mine."
