Sinn Féin MLA for Newry/Armagh Mickey Brady has congratulated all AS and A level students as they have received their results.

Mr Brady said:

"I want to congratulate all those young people in Newry and Armagh who have received their A and AS Levels. These results are the outcome of years of hard work and show the commitment, dedication and professionalism of our teachers who have encouraged our young people to reach their full potential.

"Unfortunately there are some students who did not receive the results they had hoped for but I would encourage these young people to explore as many opportunities as possible. There are still plenty of options open and there are many alternative routes which can be taken in order to pursue your desired career.

His party colleague Cllr Pat McGinn agreed and wished the students every success in the future.

"This is an important milestone in your life and I would advise you to consider all your available options before embarking on your chosen career."

"84.6% of entries at A-Level in the Six Counties have achieved grades A-C, which is an increase from last year's results. This demonstrates that standards are being maintained and improved on." Críoch
