A WEIGHT was lifted for hundreds of students around Tralee this morning when they found out their Junior Cert results.
Over 1,800 students in the county received their grades early this morning and students from the town’s schools looked pleased when we met a few of them.
Laura Harty in Mercy Mounthawk opened her results to find she had got a staggering 11 A’s out of 11 subjects.

She was shell-shocked but delighted with the result. “I can’t believe it,” said Laura Harty, “I didn’t think I would get 11 A’s!” she exclaimed.
To put Laura’s achievement into perspective, only six students in Ireland got the maximum of 12 As this year.
In Presentation Secondary, Ciara Boyd, achieved an almost equally impressive high score when she received 10 A’s and 1B.
This will be the last year students will receive Junior Cert results in its current form. In its place for 2017 will be the Junior Cycle Profile of Achievement. Scroll down for photos…
