'This can't drag on any more' - student bodies hit out at Leaving Cert results delay

Minister for Education, Norma Foley arriving at the cabinet meeting in Dublin Castle. The Minister confirmed the delayed Leaving Cert results yesterday.

The majority of universities are now “actively revising” plans for receiving first-year students this year, following confirmation that the Leaving Cert results won't be issued until September.

It also may not be possible for first-year students to attend induction and orientation ahead of the return of the main body of students due to this delay.
