Students left in Leaving Cert limbo without effective legislation around cheating

71 students were this year denied or refused their results on alleged breaches and suspicion of cheating. Barrister at law John Temple asks why these students are left in limbo due to the absence of effective legislation in this area.

Almost 59,000 students received their Leaving Certificate results two weeks ago. For those who have studied for months, there is at last a result which allows those students to progress onto the next chapter of their lives.
