Show Notes

The number of students to have their Leaving Certificate and Leaving Cert Applied results permanently withheld because of cheating in this year’s exams has risen significantly.

Figures from the State Examinations Commission show that 155 results have been permanently withheld because of cheating, more than double the 71 results initially withheld last year…

Of course, cheating on your state exams is rightly looked down upon, but what about in your day to day life? Is it ever okay to cheat? And, just why do we do it?

Joining Kieran to discuss this further is Senior Clinical Psychologist and Chartered Member of the Psychological Society of Ireland, Anne Keogh and Comedian Steve Cummins.
