Parents are being encouraged to discuss safe celebration plans with their children ahead of the Leaving Cert results tomorrow.

The HSE is advising parents to have a conversation about personal safety and alcohol and drug use ahead of the celebrations and to make a plan for getting home.

Dr. Sheila Gilheany, CEO of Alcohol Action Ireland, says it's important to look out for one another during occasions like this:

"Keeping with their friends, if they see someone in trouble of some description whether that be looking unwell or maybe getting into a risky situation, step in, don't leave it for somebody else to do so. Call another person, certainly call their parents, call the police or ambulance if needs be don't assume that somebody else is going to take action."
