The State Examinations Commission (SEC), has statutory responsibility for operational matters relating to the Leaving Certificate examinations. and they confirmed in June that it intends to issue the Leaving Certificate 2022 results on Friday, 2 September.

The intended date is in line with the date that Leaving Certificate results issued to students in both 2020 and 2021.

In similar fashion to the past two years, contacts with international counterparts are underway and will continue over the summer to ensure Irish students continue to have all options available to them in relation to studying abroad in 2022/2023.

I have also written to my European counterparts to seek support and flexibility from universities on the admission dates process for Irish students who are awaiting their Leaving Certificate 2022 results and are applying for university places in 2022/2023.
