Pair fined for sitting each other's Leaving Cert physics exam

A Yale graduate and a rugby team vice-captain have each been fined €200 after they sat each other’s Leaving Certificate physics exam.

Conor Dooney (aged 22), described in court as a gifted student, sat Stephen Boucher’s (aged 22) higher level physics paper after using his friend’s student number because Boucher wanted the extra points for a marketing degree.
