Delayed Leaving Cert results will put 'intolerable strain' on students

 Minister for Education Norma Foley has been asked to bring forward the date of this year's Leaving Cert results in line with pre-covid times.

Another year of delayed Leaving Cert results will put "intolerable strain" on students, increase retention problems, and make it harder to find accommodation, according to student and college associations. 

The warning follows meetings between the higher education sector and Department of Education officials who have indicated that 2023 results may not be released until September.
