It was the first day of the Leaving Cert exams all over Ireland yesterday and as part of their Exam Times, a big feature on the exams, The Irish Times sent one of their photographers into the King’s Hospital School boarding school in Dublin to get some shots of the exams.
The attraction of the King’s Hospital is it has a gymnasium above the main hall that has a glass wall so the photographer was able to look down on the exam hall and take photos unobtrusively so that he didn’t disturb the exams.

It was the first day students sitting their Leaving Cert exams all over Ireland today and TV3 covered the exams at the The King’s Hospital School, the prestigious boarding school in Dublin as part of their 5.30 News coverage. They also used the footage in their Midweek programme and their 11pm bulletin.
