Junior Certificate exam results will be issued sometime next week, although the exact date has not been released.
Minister for Education Norma Foley told the Oireachtas Committee of Education on Wednesday that students would have their results next week. The Minister said she would be given a specific date by the State Examinations Commission in the coming days. The delay of the results, which are typically issued in mid-September, occurred partially due to difficulties in hiring exam correctors.
Social Democrats TD Gary Gannon said on Twitter he had been informed that a review would take place on the recruitment of examiners to avoid similar delays in the near future. Education officials previously stated the delay occurred in order to facilitate the Leaving Cert appeals process. This concluded in early October.
