Opposition slams Junior Cert results delay

'The moving goalposts on the Junior Cert results has been very hard on the students and their parents,' said Sinn Féin education spokesman Donnchadh Ó'Laoghaire.

The Opposition has criticised the latest delay in the delivery of Junior Certificate results after it emerged that students will not now receive their marks until next month. 

It is understood that the date of when the results will be published will be announced by the State Exams Commission on Tuesday, meaning students will have been waiting five months since they sat the examinations.
