Via RTÉ:
Responding to a question from Labour Leader Alan Kelly, Micheál Martin said the priority is to first inform students who may have grades changed as a result of the error.
RTÉ News understands the errors identified by the Department affect around 10% of this year’s 61,000 Leaving Certificate students.
Mr Kelly said the Department has “gone to ground” in relation to those students who are appealing their calculated grades and asked is there a reason for that.

Yesterday: The Men In White Coats
‘Final Cut: Ladies And Gentlemen’ – an experimental feature-length film by Hungarian director György Pálfi that was shown at Cannes in 2012.
Using clips from 450 movies that span almost the entire history of cinema, it’s a montage, smoothly transitioning from scene to scene, perfectly echoing the tropes of romantic movies.
It might just be the best, oddest thing you watch today.

Saw you had a post last week about the dangerous sounding place names [Cutt Throat and Murdering Lane, etc] that featured on Rocque’s Map of Dublin. This may interest readers – Harvard has the map entirely on-line and in splendid detail….
Peruse at your leisure here.
Last week: Gadzooks!
