99 Deputy John Lyons asked the Minister for Education and Skills if he will detail for the past ten years the percentage of leaving certificate students who took one foreign language and those who took two foreign languages, including, if possible, which level they took; and if he will make a statement on the matter.

View answerThe State Examinations Commission has statutory responsibility for operational matters relating to the certificate examinations.
I wish to inform the Deputy that statistics in relation to the Leaving Certificate examinations (2000-2011) including the number of school leavers who completed the Leaving Certificate can be downloaded from State Examinations Commission website:- www.examinations.ie/statistics. Data on the 2012 examination and the number of entrants will not be available until mid-august.
