Brian O'Shea
Question:193 Mr. O'Shea and Mr. Kavanagh asked the Minister for Education if arbitrary percentages are applied to the various subject grades in the leaving certificate; if she considers this fair and just; if, in particular, she supports a system which may make administration easier for universities but which can be most unjustly disadvantageous if the students whose grades are arbitrarily reduced are in competition with students from other EC countries; and if she will make a statement on the matter.
