Last minute preparations are taking place for the Junior and Leaving Certificate exams. At the Department of Education in Athlone boxes of exam papers are being sent to exam centres around the country.
Reporter Carole Coleman speaks to some mature students from Pearse College, Crumlin who are a bit nervous but looking forward to the opportunities having a Leaving Certificate may offer them.
