Mr. Sharpe is studying for the leaving certificate. I visited Cork Life Centre two weeks ago and therefore know exactly about the fantastic work being done there. What are the main stresses for Mr. Sharpe as he is preparing for his examinations? I said to Department officials this morning that I have fought five general elections. A general election is very stressful but I found the leaving certificate equally stressful, if not more.

I know that was back in the mid-1990s, which was many years ago. What stresses are the witnesses experiencing? What help should be available for every student in mainstream secondary school, not just the Cork Life Centre, as they prepare for the leaving certificate?
