STATE EXAMS 2015: Timetable trouble solved with Garda escort to exams

A Limerick student had a dramatic start to his Leaving Cert exams yesterday after he missed his morning bus into the city.

Realising the bus had gone, Ian Fitzhenry, 17, a CBS Sexton Street student, rang a taxi. However, as the minutes ticked away he realised he was in danger of not getting to the exam hall in time.

A taxi eventually arrived, but in the morning traffic, he was getting increasingly concerned at their progress.
