Fellow student Claire Hanley from Barna was also celebrating a magnificent achievement. Having repeated her Leaving Cert at Yeats College she said: “I wanted to do Veterinary but I didn’t get it last year and came to Yeats College to repeat. I’m delighted with my results and can’t wait to start studying the course I’ve always wanted to do”.

Mature student, Olga Tummon, was also thrilled with her result of 590 points. She repeated her Leaving Certificate at Yeats College in the hope of studying Medicine in NUI, Galway. Speaking about the year, she said: “The year has paid off, I’m ecstatic”.

Congratulating students on results day, Principal of Yeats College Terry Fahy commented: “Our students have worked extremely hard throughout the year and I would like to personally congratulate them on their outstanding results.
