Ms Andrea Feeney:

The contract is 26 days from the date of the training conference. The training conferences are related to the date of the examination and then we have a marking window that stretches for 26 days from that date. Really, what has been happening over the last number of years is that they will continue to mark past what we call the sprioclá, which is the end date of the 26-day period from the marking conference. To be clear, though, in terms of a headline number of €8,000, that is for our very top or highest level of marking. The rates of fees go from €3,000 to the top rate of €8,000. The rates are per-script based on the complexity of the subject and the length of time it takes to mark the subject.
