A LIMERICK teen has broken records by receiving top marks in his Leaving Cert examinations.
Luke Nicholas attended Glenstal Abbey School, who shared the news that their past pupil had achieved nine H1 grades in his exams.

His top grades were in Irish, English, Mathematics, Applied Mathematics, French, History, Latin, Music, Physics.
Luke was one of three students in the school’s cohort of 40 to achieve top points, but his individual performance is the highest ever recorded by the school, which celebrates its 90th year this year.
