Everyone in Mayo is now being urged to visit www.google.ie/doodle4google and vote for Shona Farragher and Seren O'Toole to bring the title to Mayo.
Shona (second class ) and Seren (second class ) both from St John the Baptist NS in Ballinrobe reached the top 60 with their creation of a doodle around the Google logo based on the theme of “To me, happiness is…”.
