Ms Andrea Feeney:

I think the example Senator Dolan gave was in relation to a particular student, but generally the timeline for the release of the results this year tied in to the UCAS process. My understanding is the UCAS cut-off was 7 September. The date of issue of the leaving certificate results was 2 September. There were some individual cases highlighted to the Department. I know colleagues in the Department of Education and the Department for further and higher education engaged with their counterparts in the UK to ensure students could take up those places.
