Junior Cert results for 2,168
Donegal teens
12.09.07
There will be
butterflies in 2,168 Donegal tummies today as
students receive their Junior Certificate results.
And those getting results are being advised to
"celebrate responsibly".
Donegal North East T.D., Deputy Niall Blaney
congratulated the students but advised them to look
after themselves.
Deputy Blaney also urged the proprietors of off
licences, bars and supermarkets to be extra vigilant
to underage drinking.
“This is a milestone in any young person’s life and
I would like to express my sincere congratulations
to all involved,” he said.
“But I would also like to urge them to celebrate
responsibly. Too often we hear stories of how such
nights can be ruined by alcohol.
“Junior Certificate students are not yet the legal
age to drink alcohol yet this night is traditionally
associated with unfortunate incidents in which young
people drink too much."
Deputy Blaney also appealed for parents to keep an
eye on their children.
"It may also be a good time for parents to address
the issue with their children and shopkeepers and
staff in licensed premises should also be extra
vigilant this week in selling alcohol.
"We must all share the responsibility of ensuring
that the young people in our community do not get
tangled in the web of alcohol misuse,” he added. |
