68. To ask the Minister for Education and Skills her plans for leaving certificate students wishing to study at UK institutions through UCAS and other institutions outside of Ireland that require their calculated grades in August 2020 to secure their course; and her views on whether alternative plans should be put in place for these students to make sure they do not miss out on their university course.

The Leaving Certificate results will issue on 7th September 2020. Upon engagement by my officials with UCAS, (the UK equivalent of the CAO), it has indicated that this can be accommodated within their revised timelines for 2020. As a result, Irish students pursuing their studies in the UK will not be at a disadvantage.
