What do Dara O'Briain, Miriam O'Callaghan and Michael D. Higgins have in common? 

Well thanks to Chris O'Dowd we now know that all three of them got where they are without having gone to college, so take what you will from that if you or someone you know is getting their Leaving Cert results today.

Others also chimed in on the news of the day, mostly to wish kids luck and make light of the situation, which is equal parts a big deal and not really a big deal at all.
