Pearse Doherty
Question:316. Deputy Pearse Doherty asked the Minister for Education and Skills if he will provide in tabular form the number of children who have been granted reasonable accommodation in respect of their junior certificate examination in the past five years; the number who have been granted reasonable accommodation in respect of their leaving certificate examination in the past five years; the number who have applied and been refused reasonable accommodation; the reason it is more difficult to secure reasonable accommodation in respect of the leaving certificate examination; his views on whether the difficulty in securing a reasonable accommodation for the leaving certificate where a student may have received it for the junior certificate is likely to cause further stress to the student which may impact their performance; and if he will make a statement on the matter.
