Treble for Tipp as hard work pays off
On a day when tens of thousands of Junior Cert students celebrated their results, the Ursuline Secondary School in Thurles in Tipperary managed a remarkable treble with three of its pupils taking 12 higher level As, out of a national total of 15.
One of the three, Jane Ryan, 16, a boarder at the school, said she had expected Bs to appear at least once on her results slip.
