Vol. 410 No. 1
67 Mr. Bell asked the Minister for Education the date from which pupils will be able to use only one set of leaving certificate results for CAO purposes; the reason for this decision; and her views on whether the pupils of that specific year suffer a disadvantage in that they have to compete against students able to double results without being able to do the same themselves.
No applicant for a third level place will be disadvantaged by the decision referred to by the Deputy since on and from the 1992-93 academic year no applicant will be able to use results from more than one sitting of the leaving certificate for points purposes. The decision was taken to remove the inequity that existed in some applicants being in a position to accumulate results from a number of sittings of the leaving certificate to improve their points score.
