    Leaving Cert Cockup

    I see some careless muppet handed out English paper 2 instead of Paper 1today
    Creating huge upset for upwards of 50000 candidates as the exam has to be rescheduled.
    Why is there not a second set of backup papers to hand?
    Not the first time this has happened.
    Probably not enough civil servants................

    Really? Didn't hear that. Where did it happen? I thought the exams were only delivered to the centres the night before or something

    ugh how awful for them all, bad enough to go through the leaving cert but to have this kind of upset along the way is awful RTÉ News: Leaving Cert English paper two cancelled

    Here's hoping it gets sorted and that students are marked accordingly

    They do always have a contingency paper, but they aren't able to get it to every school in the country in under 24 hours.

    upsetting but hardly the stuff of major scandal.
