Dáil Éireann Debate, Thursday - 10 March 2005
203 Mr. Lowry asked the Minister for Education and Science if there is a possibility of altering an examination timetable (details supplied); if she will investigate the matter; if it is possible to make alternative arrangements in certain cases; the circumstances under which an alternative sitting may take place; and if she will make a statement on the matter. [8498/05]
View answerOn foot of a Government decision, the then Minister for Education and Science formally established the State Examinations Commission on 6 March 2003. The commission now has statutory responsibility for operational matters relating to the certificate examinations, such as the time tabling of examinations. Accordingly, I have passed the Deputy's query to the chief executive officer of the commission for direct reply.
