We've paid out for grinds and I've no problem with that.

I'm delighted to be able to support him.

But he was just floored, absolutely floored.

And it took the weekend.

He spent the weekend and we spent the weekend trying to bring him back up, you know.

Like that.

He had worked on himself to get his confidence back up and he was a good bit better.

And the paper was much better today.

But the problem, Ciarán, is this.

You know, the people that set those papers have had years of experience.

These kids are going in.

They're 17, 18 and 19 years.

And when your confidence is not, it's not just not for the day, it's not for a while until you can build that back up.

And that's not a good way to go in after the weekend into your second week of exams.

So, you know, I'm not a person that gets on the radio and complains, but I felt very strong and I rang Lifeline this morning.

I felt very strong that somebody needs to be answerable.

They can't do this.

I have no problem answering.

with a challenging paper.

I have no problem with a tough paper, but make it about math, not about English.
