    Results are supposed to be out on June 21st. Failure letters usually come the week before, so I assume they'll be sent out this week.

    So we'd know before the end of the week if we had to repeat anything yeah?

    The infamous failing letter purgatory. Don't miss that tbh. :P

    so if we dont get a letter this week is it safe to start the celebrations ;)


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,485 ✭✭✭Mr. K


    I'm going to say hold off on the celebrations until the results are out. The failure letters seem to be a bit inconsistent, cson noted the "purgatory" aspect...

    I'm sorry I can't give a straight answer, it's been a few years since I got a failure letter, not since I changed my ways! Your gut can usually tell you if you've failed though. Mine always did!

    Kinda ironic isn't it, the day the results are out - June 21st - the longest day in the year:eek::eek::eek:

    Letters will arrive on Friday. Best of luck people.

  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,611 ✭✭✭skeleton_boy


    I know people who've got em today. I'm still waiting on the post!


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 14,608 ✭✭✭✭cson


    Note to self:

    1. Acquire some UL branded envelopes for next years Xmas results.

    2. Send to friends so that the post will arrive the week before the results.

    3. Bask in their incredulity.

    :pac:
