55,500 students to get Leaving results tomorrow

TOMORROW marks the end of a nervous two-month wait for more than 55,500 Leaving Certificate students.

The State Examinations Commission (SEC) is delivering the eagerly awaited results to schools around the country today. The results will be available for collection by students tomorrow morning and for those unable to attend their school, including those who are overseas working or on holiday, an online results service will also be available from the SEC website (www.examinations.ie) from midday tomorrow. The service was used by more than 20,000 candidates last year from 40 countries, including New Zealand, Dubai, China, Thailand and Peru.

With their exam number and a personal identification number previously issued, exam candidates can also access their results by phone, by calling 1530 719 290 or from outside the Republic 00 353 1 6885312.
