The Irish Times reports a final date for the grades could be announced as early as today or tomorrow.

It's understood most of the marking is completed but officials say its continuing in a "small number of subjects".

Nearly 70,000 students who sat the exams are still waiting for their results and a shortage of examiners is among the reasons for the delay.
