Leaving Cert Answers from The Educational Company of Ireland is a nice little helper app for those wretched souls facing into the barrel of a ‘life determining’ exam.
The app provides the answers for the 2005 papers as a sample so you can see the quality before splurging on later years.
Leaving Cert Answers is available now on the Apple App Store with a free sample of the answers available and the rest as in app purchases.

The Lifeboat Courage on our Coasts exhibition [running until December 2] showcases over 50 images captured through by RNLI lifeboat crew member and award-winning professional photographer Nigel Millard. He’s really good.

Pat Hussey, the mayor of Tralee, said Fine Gael’s “ridiculous” gender quotas could lead to many situations where “you could have a fantastic candidate overlooked for someone who doesn’t know anything at all about politics”.

And a Happy International Men’s Day to you and yours.
