Over 70,000 school-goers nationwide have received their results for the state exams, which are in their second year since the curriculum was fully-reformed.
The wait is finally over for more than 1,600 Clare students who’ve been opening their Junior Cert results this afternoon.
A total of 71,494 either opened their envelope or checked online to see how they fared – the first time the figure has surpassed 70,000.
It’s just the second year that candidates have sat the exams under the fully-reformed Junior Cycle Curriculum, and the second results day since the exams resumed after the pandemic.
