Ireland flunks GCSEs

Despite exams getting easier and a record number of A*s this year, Ireland has let itself down. In a fresh blow to the Irish economy, the nation’s credit rating has been cut to the lowest since 1995. Ireland was awarded just one A and one A- from Standard & Poor, who delivered a “negative outlook" based on the costs of state support of Irish banks.

Rumours from our insider said that Ireland just didn’t revise hard enough and spent too much time copping off with the loose one from Year 12.

“I can’t even count the number of times I’ve had to put Ireland in detention because it’s been drunk during Double Maths. Drinking Guiness at lunchtime is not a recipe for success,” said Ireland’s head master, Paddy McGrath.

Our source from the National Treasury Management Agency had this to add: “To be sure, to be sure”

While Rory O'Byrne from Leprechaun bank remains optimistic: “Can I tarmac your driveway?”
