Tipperary student gets 12 A’s in his Junior Cert

While a student in Tipperary is today celebrating 12 A's in his Junior Cert, the efforts of another pupil at the school is also being praised.

Robert O'Donnell, a student at the Abbey Secondary School in Tipperary Town, was one of just 19 pupils across the country to achieve 12 A's.

However, school Principal John Heffernan says the 4 A's obtained by a pupil at the school with learning difficulties should also be highlighted.

He has praised the work of the students parents and also of the staff at the Abbey.
