Students in Limerick who have been among the first to receive their Junior Cycle results on Wednesday are “ecstatic”.

Ava Ryan from Annacotty is one of a record 70,727 students across the country receiving their results. The Gaelcholáiste Luimnigh student said she is delighted after getting five distinctions and four higher merits, adding that her results reflect her hard work.
