Prisoners’ delight over Junior Cert results

It was a proud day on Wednesday for parents of thousands of Junior Certificate students — but a father in Cork Prison was celebrating his own results as well as his daughter’s.

One of four inmates who did the Junior Certificate at the prison last June, he was very pleased with his As in foundation level English and maths exams.

“My daughter did the Junior Cert as well and got her results today, so that’s something else to celebrate,” he told the Irish Examiner.
