Clare Students Rejoice On Junior Cert Results Day

Students throughout County Clare have been checking their Junior Cert results this afternoon as the eagerly-awaited day has finally rolled around. 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. Principal of St. Flannan's College Ennis Father Ignatius McCormack believes the exams offer students a taster the State Exam experience before they head into the Senior Cycle.
