The Teachers' Union of Ireland (TUI) today congratulated more than 60,000 people who achieved their grades.

Candidates got the result live through the candidate self-service portal at 10 am. CAO offers will come on 8th September and Phase 2 offers on 19th.

The percentage of students with a H1 grade in Higher Level Irish increased from 11.9% last year to 12.7% this year, according to the State Examination Commission’s provisional data.
Irish has had one of the largest increases in top grades since the pandemic, more than doubling since 2019 when 6.1% of students got a H1.
7.2% of students got a H1 in English, roughly the same as last year’s 7.6%.
Top grades in Maths have risen to 18.1% from 15.1% in 2021.
17.3% of History students got a H1, 10.5% of Geography students and 14.1% of French students.

Due to the Covid-19 pandemic, it is the third year in a row that Living Cert results and CAO offers of examination are not available until early September, normally after mid-August.

The National Parents Council Post Primary has opened a Leaving Cert helpline from 2pm today to provide guidance and advice to students and parents on 1800 265 165.

The HSE urges young people under the age of 18 to avoid alcohol completely, and those who choose to drink to plan ahead, monitor and reduce their drinking, stay safe and avoid drugs.

The HSE also advises parents to have a short, focused conversation with youngsters about personal safety and alcohol and drug use before exam celebrations. “As always, it's important to take care of your friends. Don't let yourself go if someone is drunk, high, has an accident, or is in an unsafe situation. Try to stay in groups of at least three people and check where your friends are if you feel like someone is missing.

National mental health charity Turn2Me is urging students across the country to use its services when they get their results.

Turn2Me offers free professional mental health services 365 days a year to people over the age of 12 in Ireland. I would encourage any young person, and indeed any parent, who is concerned about Leaving Certificate results to use our mental health services. Our support groups and thought catcher services have no waiting lists, so people can sign up on our website Turn2Me.ie and start using these services very quickly. The CEO said.

The charity said it runs free support groups at 6pm most evenings and a free 'thought catcher' online mood diary from 2pm to 8pm every day, where people can post how they feel about their results.
