Question:143 Mr. S. Brennan asked the Minister for Education if secondlevel students with Down's Syndrome will be given the same concessions for examinations as other students with a disability; if her attention has been drawn to an interpretation of her Department's recent circular which would seem to exclude students with Down's Syndrome from such arrangements; the number of students with Down's syndrome who sat, or are expected to sit, for public examinations in each of the years from 1995 to 1998; and if she will make a statement on the matter.
