Exams clash with rugby final

APPEALS from rugby-mad students at the University of Limerick to adjourn exams for a few hours on May 20 to allow them see the Heineken European Cup final have been turned down by the college.

More than 1,000 students at UL will be sitting exams while the game is taking place.

Students at Cork Institute of Technology are set to face the same problem, with 800 students scheduled to sit exams as Munster take on Biarritz.
