Question:

364. Deputy Réada Cronin asked the Minister for Education if her Department will examine the situation whereby students suffering an epileptic seizure by their nature without warning prior to a leaving certificate exam cannot sit the paper in question and are required to wait and resit the exams the following year; if an appropriate accommodation could be established that would allow students experiencing seizures before an exam to sit the relevant paper and complete the examination process in the original year without the delay; and if she will make a statement on the matter.

The State Examinations Commission has statutory responsibility for operational matters relating to the certificate examinations.

In view of this I have forwarded your query to the State Examinations Commission for direct reply to you.
