Written Answers. - State Examinations.

Róisín Shortall

Question:

893 Ms Shortall asked the Minister for Education and Science if, further to Parliamentary Question No. 157 of 19 October 2000 and in respect of the 2,309 leaving certificate upgrades awarded on appeal in 2000, he will give a breakdown by subject and by county of these upgrades. [24281/00]

Candidate addresses are not maintained in the examinations database in the case of school candidates. External candidate addresses are maintained but are not coded by county. Consequently a county by county breakdown of the upgrades is not readily available.

The breakdown of grades by subject is as follows:
