The State Examinations Commission (SEC) has responsibility for the operation, delivery and development of the State examinations. The SEC has not confirmed a date on which the Leaving Certificate 2024 results will be issued. However, it continues to work intensively to prepare for the examinations process.The date for the issue of the results for 2023 was the 25th August, which was a full week earlier than the 2022 results, which issued on the 2nd of September 2022. It was a significant and very welcome step towards pre-pandemic norms in relation to the timing for issue of results.My Department will continue to engage with all relevant stakeholders, including the Department of Education, regarding transitions from Post Primary to third level education, including those who require additional support.Funding of €12m is being made available to third level institutions between 2022 and 2025 to improve services for students on the autism spectrum. This initiative forms part of PATH 4 of the National Access Plan (NAP), which highlighted the need to improve and increase representation in higher education for students with a disability including students with autism and students with intellectual disabilities.
