The results were due in mid-September as has been the norm in other years, but the SEC now says the results won't issued before the end of the month. 

The delay has not been given a definitive timeframe. 

It may be as a result of the SEC prioritising Leaving Cert appeals which saw a massive increase in numbers this year.
