Exams will be the last at historic school

FINBARR MURPHY sat the first higher level Junior Certificate maths paper at St Finbarr’s College, Farranferris, on the northside of Cork city.

Although he will go on to do the Leaving Certificate, it is one of his last exams at the historic school, which is closing its doors to second-level education later this month.

He found the paper very hard as there was an awful lot of work to do in it.
