Hundreds of Cavan students to get Leaving Cert results

More than 1,000 young people stand to receive their Leaving Certificate and Leaving Certificate Applied results later this morning, Friday, August 22.

In Cavan, 909 pupils sat their Leaving Cert with a further 97 enrolled for Leaving Cert Applied back in June.

It is almost a tenth more than received their exam results in the county last year.

In Monaghan, there were 781 Leaving Cert and 66 Leaving Cert Applied candidates enrolled.

The results will be issued through the Candidate Self Service Portal available at www.examinations.ie and to school authorities through the SEC's Schools Portal.

They will be available online from 10am and in the schools from early morning.

For 2025 the State Examinations Commission (SEC) will again apply a post-marking adjustment once marking is complete. This adjustment will bring results in the aggregate up to a point broadly midway between 2020 and 2021 levels.

Turn2Me, a national mental health charity, has meanwhile issued guidance to help young people manage the anxiety, stress, and anticipation that can come with waiting for their results, including six tips to help support students and their families to prepare. These can be found at www.turn2me.ie

“It’s natural to feel anxious in the run-up to results, but remember that there are many options and supports out there. Our message to students is simple: you are more than your results. Your value and your potential are not tied to a set of exams,” said Fiona O’Malley, CEO of Turn2Me.
