‘Tara would have been very happy with results’

Neans McSweeney, South-East Correspondent

Tara Whelan's distraught father, Tony, arrived at Our Lady of Mercy Secondary School early yesterday morning to collect his late daughter's results. He arrived far ahead of most others.

The transcript showed the youngest of his five children had well over 200 points plenty to sail into Hotel and Catering at Waterford Institute of Technology. The cut-off points for the course were expected to be up from 210 last year.
