The Naughton Scholarships are a scheme of scholarships to promote the study of engineering, science and technology at third level by students in Ireland.

The Naughton Foundation was established by Martin and Carmel Naughton in 1994.  It is a private family foundation and its goal is to support worthwhile causes in the arts and education.  In 2008 the foundation decided to create the scholarship programme to increase our support for Leaving Certificate students who would like to study engineering, science and technology at third level in Ireland. 

Each year from February to May Leaving Certificate students can apply for a scholarship if they intend on studying science, engineering or technology at third level that year.

Ruth Bradley, who guest stars in one episode of the new series, arrived with her boyfriend, Welsh actor Richard Coyle.

Stylist Ingrid Hoey arrived with Catherine Kelly owner of Cocobelle and although Amys hubbie Brian was in rugby camp in Carton House and so couldn't attend, there were a number of rugby wives in attendance including Darina Cullen and Aoife Darcy.  Lindor chocolate and Tayto Snax kept the audience sated while the laughs came courtesy of the new show.
