Brian Gill on Today FM: What Will Record High Leaving Cert Results Mean For Course Points?

Listen here to Brian Gill on Today FM

‘This year’s Leaving Cert students have received the best results on record, with average grade inflation of 4.4% after the calculated grading system was used.

CAO points will be driven up as a result, but there are concerns that those who sat the Leaving Cert in 2019 and are competing for college places this year will find themselves at a disadvantage.

Liz Daly, whose daughter took a year out after her Leaving Cert and is now applying for college, is worried that she may not get the course she wants. She is looking for logic and fairness to be applied to cases like her daughter’s.

Liz was joined on the show by guidance counsellor Betty McLoughlin and Brian Gill, head of Callan Tansey’s Commercial Litigation Department and Employment Law, to discuss the situation’.

Brian Gill talks to Pat Kenny on Newstalk 106 regarding Compensation Cases

Pat Kenny spoke to Brian Gill, Partner, Callan Tansey Solicitors, 11 April 2017 (10.29am) on The Pat Kenny Show, Newstalk 106.

Part of the Transcript from Pat Kenny talking to Brian Gill:

“In the past few weeks a woman was awarded €20,000 for banging her knee off a table leg that happened to be covered by a table cloth in a hotel. Then a Trainee Dental Nurse, who was called an Effing Skankhole by a Dublin Bus Driver lost a €75,000 damages claim for deformation of character. You wonder what is going on in the compensation culture in Ireland. Are we becoming more litigious overall?
