Junior Cert Results: Grandmother is over the moon

A 71-year-old grandmother is one of some 2,700 students celebrating Junior Certificate results in Limerick yesterday.

Pamela Noonan, from O’Malley Park, said she was “over the moon” when she opened her envelope at the Further Education and Training Centre on O’Connell Avenue.

“I left school very young, I was about 11. I had no education really because in those days you didn’t get an education, you had to go out to work if you were able to. It didn’t matter what you could do, you had to go out to work to earn money.”
