Mixed feelings as Junior Cert students tackle maths and Irish

THERE were mixed feelings among the students of St Patrick’s College on Gardiner’s Hill in Cork about the first Junior Certificate maths paper yesterday morning.

Triona Walsh had bigger things on her mind as she was not looking forward to the afternoon Irish paper, but she was positive about her performance in higher level maths.

“The paper was grand, although there were hard parts in most of the questions,” she said.
