I will highlight the fact that there is a contradiction between the HSE and NPHET guidelines, which state that very high-risk people should remain cocooned and limit interactions. That is in direct contradiction with this family's individual case.

I will move on as I have other questions. I refer to the ranking system that will be announced next week following the leaving certificate. When did the Minister become aware that the individual rankings a class would achieve - whether a student came first, second, third, fourth, fifth - would be available to all the students and that they would be able to see the ranking the teacher gave them and the individual mark for the leaving certificate? Does the Minister think that is fair? If she does not - and she probably does not, as the unions certainly do not - how can we address it before next week? It is a genuine concern and anxiety for teachers grading leaving certificate students next week and they were not told about this in March or April, through this committee or by any other means. The goalposts have been moved for teachers and that needs to be addressed.
