Ms Andrea Feeney:

On the first question about the apprenticeships, the engagement with SOLAS is recent. We have some follow-up to do to work that through in terms of access to apprenticeships for students who are waiting for their junior cycle results.

On the second question, this was a challenge pre-Covid. Ensuring that we had enough examiners each year was a challenge up to and including 2019. The number of candidates was trending up and the number of examiners was trending down, but we have actually seen a step change in 2022.
