A stakeholder meeting is taking place today to discuss ongoing issues with the state exams.
The Education Minister Joe McHugh hopes to start the Leaving Cert exams now on Wednesday 29th July but there's still a number of issues yet to be resolved ahead of then.
4,000 with offers from UK universities have been told they need to have their Leaving Cert results by the end of August to guarantee their place. The Department of Education says there's ongoing engagement with the British Education Secretary to try and find a solution.
It'll be one of the issues on the agenda at the third meeting of a stakeholder group today.
The Education Minister told the Dail last night that predicted grades are among a range of contingencies being looked at.
