Students across the South East will receive their Junior Cert results today.
More than 67,000 papers will be handed out at schools across the country, with the results being made available online from 4pm.
They come two months later than usual, as the State Examinations Commission grappled with a shortage of examiners this year and delays to the Leaving Cert.
Education Minister Norma Foley is paying tribute to both the students and staff involved in the process:

"I do really want to congratulate the students, it's a great achievement."
"They have come through a significant state exam and it is a very positive and good day for them."
"I also want to acknowledge the support of parents, families and school staff who have supported the students."
