Student who missed out on college place wins case over decision not to re-check Leaving Cert results before mid-October

A student has won her case against the State Examination Commission to have the appeal of her Leaving Cert results decided before mid-October.

18-year-old Rebecca Carter had argued it was an easily rectifiable 'totting up error' and that the system was unfair as registration for her course veterinary medicine in UCD closes on September 30.
