The motion

That the Parliament congratulates Ronan Murphy, a student from Tarbert Academy’s P6/7 class, for his initiative in inviting Scottish Canals to speak to pupils about career opportunities, and the work life on the Crinan Canal; commends Ronan and his peers for their enthusiasm and interest in learning about the diverse career opportunities available, which resulted in three representatives from Scottish Canals visiting the class on 12 May 2025 to share insights into their roles and answer a wide range of questions from the students; understands that Scottish Canals recruits seasonal staff each summer, primarily from school leavers and students; appreciates the efforts of the P6/7 class teacher, Sharon MacDougall, and the Scottish Canals team for making this educational experience possible, and encourages other local schools to take advantage of similar opportunities to learn more about career opportunities on Scotland's canal network.
