Over 61 thousand students are getting their Leaving Cert results today.
Students across the country are urged to take care as they celebrate their leaving cert results tonight.
The results will be issued online through the Candidate Self Service portal from 10 o'clock this morning.
Students will also be able to receive their results in person through their school.
Brian Farrell from the Road Safety Authority has this advice for those celebrating results:
"We want you to celebrate, absolutely celebrate your achievements, but to do so responsibly and safely."

"Avoid taking unnecessary risks which I suppose could jeopardise the next chapter of your life."
"If you're planning to head out and celebrate, be smart and make sure you have plans to get home safely."
Leading HSE psychiatrist Dr Bobbi Smith has this advice for parents and students:
"Look out for your friends. Expect your friends to look out for you."
"Have a plan for a route home. To parents, we would advise a conversation with your son and daughter."
"Have them think through the evening and emphasise to them that you'll be a backup should they need assistance."
