Reflections on the CAO and warnings about E-scooters
from Behind the Story · host RTÉ News
As CAO offers reach students today, David, Katie and Fran reflect on demographic pressure and grade deflation which has had an impact on this year's Leaving Cert students. While 51% received an offer of their top choice, that's down from last year's 56%. Points for several courses increased substantially. Later, the trio speak to Dr Irwin Gill of CHI at Temple Street Children's Hospital who is warning parents about the dangers of E-scooters. Children as young as nine are presenting with traumatic brain injury following accidents. Dr Gill says many parents are not aware that e-scooters are illegal for children under 16.
