Bereavement exemptions should be extended to Junior Cert, TD insists

A Junior Cert student faced with the trauma losing a loved one would be just as unable to sit an exam as one taking the Leaving Cert, a Fianna Fáil TD has said, insisting that the bereavement exemptions should be extended.

John Brassil is calling on the Education Minister to extend exemptions to Junior Cert pupils as currently, only those sitting the Leaving Cert can be exempt.
