Teenager refuses to sit exam after haircut ban

A mother of a 15-year-old boy whose school refused to let him sit the Junior Certificate due to his haircut today said he was left too upset to complete the exams.

Tullamore College in Co Offaly refused to allow three boys, including Enda Carroll, 15, to sit their exams at the school’s examination centre as their short, blade-one haircuts broke the dress rules.
