536. To ask the Minister for Education and Skills the status of the further delay in leaving certificate results; if the delay will not negatively impact some university offers from the United Kingdom for students (details supplied); the communication she has had with the UK to ensure that students here are not disadvantaged; and if she will make a statement on the matter.

The Leaving Certificate results will issue on 7th September 2020.

As a result, Irish students pursuing their studies in the UK will not be at a disadvantage.
