There is no proposal under consideration at present for an alteration in the current regulations with regard to Irish as a subject at the intermediate and leaving certificate examinations.
May I take it that the Minister does not intend to re-introduce Irish as a compulsory subject in examinations?
I adhere to the wording of my reply. No such proposal is under consideration.
