Day Two Of State Exams Kicks Off Today
It's day two of the state exams for more than 120,000 students.
It's English Paper 2 for the Leaving Cert's while the Junior cycle face both Irish papers.
It comes amid a warning from one Irish University that it could be forced to reduce the number of places to Irish students due to a funding crisis.
University College Dublin maintains that fees from international students is the only way it can afford to hire staff and says cuts may have to be considered unless the situation changes.
