Sitting any exam is always stressful and we can't imagine this situation helped students' concentration levels. A pigeon caused major disruption during a Junior Cert examination this week.
The bird entered a hall at St Mary's College in Rathmines during the RE exam paper.
The pigeon was flying around the room during the exam, excreting on students' exam papers.
The secondary school tweeted an announcement, explaining that today's German exam will be moved if the bird remains in the building.
"If the pigeon remains in the exam hall tomorrow, the German exam will be moved to the study.
"The candidates today whose RE papers were deposited upon by the pigeon, will not lose marks for poor presentation."

The tweet has since gone viral with some hilarious responses.
Thankfully, the pigeon has since left the building. St Mary's College posted an update on Twitter this morning wishing the bird a "long and happy summer".
The pigeon has left the building.
We wish it a long and happy summer.
