No results trend means points system unaffected

THE mixed changes in overall results in most Leaving Certificate subjects are likely to have no significant impact on points requirements needed for college, when the first offers are made next week.

The Central Applications Office (CAO) will put offers on its website at 6am on Monday and all applicants being offered a place should receive notification by post the next day.

However, Institute of Guidance Counsellors (IGC) president Frank Mulvihill predicts there is no trend in exam results to suggest a major fall or rise in points across the board.
