As Chair of the committee, I speak on behalf of all members when I say we will look for co-operation from the Minister's officials when we ask them to come before us as witnesses when we are carrying out the review.
On leaving certificate 2021, what provisions have the Minister and her Department made for students who are sitting the leaving certificate but cannot continue doing so because of a positive Covid test or because they have to self isolate? I refer to the High Court decision today to dismiss legal action over calculated grades. I ask the Minister to comment on both issues. I have another question on air monitors before she concludes.
