First-year admissions to college will be delayed, and students will be at a disadvantage finding accommodation due to the later issuing of Leaving Cert results, universities have warned.

It comes as the State Examinations Commission announced this Thursday that students will receive their results this year on Friday, September 2. A date has not yet been released for when the first round of CAO college offers will go to students.
