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.
Dear bad Leaving Cert result getters.. At this hard time, remember that @daraobriain, @MiriamOCal & @MichealDH_ didn't go to college either.

@BigBoyler actually, you need to show your leaving cert results for Disneyland these days. Space Mountain is 475 points.

They're all clearly well decorated. I, however, went to UCD & Drama School and graduated from neither. And i own 26 pairs of trousers, so..

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.
When we received our leaving cert results all our parents wanted us to do well so we could work in banks. Gooood luck everyone

#LeavingCert students waiting for results, I have lit a candle for you. Alas it's a cinnamon Yankee candle that God doesn't listen to. #SOZ
