A Dublin student whose parents successfully campaigned against a decision by her school to scrap the Leaving Cert Applied course has now been offered a job in the hotel where she did work experience as part of the curriculum.

Orla Fallon (18) was one of the students with special needs in Clonturk Community College, an Educate Together/CDEBT school in Whitehall, Dublin.
