The Education Minister has told the State Examinations Commission that the Leaving Cert results should be released in August.
Currently, students sitting the exams have no idea when they will be able to collect their results.
Last year, students were forced to wait until September 2nd - 2 weeks after they're traditionally issued.
Education Minister Norma Foley says while she's outlined her position - a date is still unclear:
"It is my absolute preference that the date for Leaving Certificate would be within the August timeframe. I know they're working very, very hard to ensure that that will be the most likely outcome. I would anticipate that we will be in position to make an announcement in the not too distant future in relation to it".
