Mixed feelings over first maths papers

SIXTH-YEAR students at St Finbarr’s College in Farranferris, Cork, had mixed feelings about yesterday morning’s maths papers.

They are the last group to sit the Leaving Certificate at the famous school which is the alma mater of some of Cork’s most famous sons, including broadcaster Bill O’Herlihy, composer Seán Ó Riada, former AIB boss Michael Buckley and a host of All-Ireland winning hurlers.

Malcolm O’Brien was among those who are sad the college is being closed.
