The number of students to have their Leaving Certificate and Leaving Cert Applied results permanently withheld because of cheating in this year’s exams has risen significantly.
New figures provided by the State Examinations Commission (SEC) show that the 155 results have been permanently withheld because of cheating, up from the 71 results initially withheld last year.
