Celebration on the double for twins

TWINS David and Elaine McCarthy had 15 good reasons to celebrate last night. Between them, they scored that many As in the Leaving Certificate.

The 18-year-olds from Innishannon were overjoyed at the results, which should guarantee them their chosen college courses.

David studied at Hamilton High School in Bandon and ended up with 6A1s and 3A2s, giving him 600 points, sufficient to secure a place on the actuarial and financial science course in UCD.
