I propose to take Questions Nos. 106 and 107 together.

In 2001 I established a working group to review all aspects of the syllabus and examination for the Scrúdú le hAghaidh Cáilíochta sa Ghaeilge. The group submitted a report and a copy was published on my Department's website.

Issues dealt with in the report include the content and format of the examination modules, the standard of the examination, courses of study for applicants and the period of provisional recognition granted to applicants within which they are expected to pass. The report is under consideration and a decision will be taken shortly.
