Mr. Eamonn Moran:

I will pick up on the Deputy’s question on leaving certificate computer science. We do not have the specific numbers for schools that are offering computer science but my colleagues in the State Examinations Commission will provide that to us and we will send it on to the Deputy. The Deputy will know that the subject was introduced to a number of phase 1 schools in 2018 for the examination to be sat for the first time in 2020. It has since been available for roll-out nationally. We work closely with schools proposing to offer the subject, given that it is brand new. Our teacher support and professional development services provide extensive CPD to teachers in those schools to ensure the subject is rolled out effectively. There is a fair amount of excitement about it as well. One of the subjects is partly done on computer so the schools that have been involved in it have responded to us favourably on the new specification. We will come back to the Deputy with the specific numbers.
