Ms Edel Doherty:

It is really difficult for them. When they are choosing their subjects, they do not have access to modified previous exam papers. They do not have access to those and so they actually do not know sometimes the questions that are going to be asked. There is a lot of unknowns for them building up to the leaving certificate. There is additional pressure on them. The whole race and the accommodations provided need an overhaul because students are not part of that process. Their voices are not being heard as part of that process. It is incredibly stressful for them to get to that point.
