Celebrations in Bishop Lucey’s joint

BUSES roll into the city centre full of drunken students — Junior Cert night has truly arrived.

Doused in perfume and aftershave, the Junior Cert class of 2007 certainly made the effort for the night out, some dressed and coloured for a beach in St Tropez rather than a chilly autumn evening.

As early as 5pm yesterday evening, groups of students who had received their results hours earlier, swayed along the streets of Cork city, unable to stand upright, substituting lampposts for crutches.
