“Leaving Cert people of Ireland, if you got what you wanted in your points and results, congratulations. You did well.
"If you didn’t, don’t worry. This is the most important part because it’s something in the cosmos, the universe, who knows, nudging you somewhere where you weren’t expecting to be.
“Now, take it from somebody who knows about this a little bit, the old guy. If that happens, embrace it, run into it, and take it somewhere exciting and interesting because that’s where you were obviously meant to be, okay?
"So, don't panic. Take it on. Remember, family and perspective - more important than any points in the whole world. “Now, go and have some fun tonight, and then get on with the rest of your life and have fun getting there. Well done." Tubridy's video follows the State Examinations Commission (SEC) revealing that this year's iteration of paper one of the Leaving Cert Higher Maths exam was marked more leniently. It stated that the alteration to the marking scheme came as a result of some students and media commentary suggesting that the first part of the maths test was "too difficult".
