A Leaving Cert student, who was forced to leave an exam this week in agony with appendicitis before being rushed to hospital, has been denied access to the deferred exams next month.
Catherine Doyle, Kildare, has called on the State Examinations Commission (SEC) to revise its rules around medical emergencies after she said her son was rushed to hospital on Wednesday afternoon after he attempted to sit the history exam.
