CAO offers - next stage for thousands of leaving cert students

Celebrating: students from Gaelcholáiste Mhuire A.G., North Monastery, Cork.

They must have had the most traumatic Leaving Cert year in the history of the exam. The 57,000 students due to sit their leaving cert at the start of this summer had to endure an agonising wait for decisions on how this pretty significant State exam was going to play out.

Throughout that weird and worrying Spring 2020, they didn’t know if it was going to go ahead in some socially-distanced/isolated format or if they were going to be brought back into school for two weeks before sitting actual exams in July.
