Ms Toni O'Dwyer:

We are engaged on that piece through the Children's Rights Alliance, which I commend for its work on that. Our recommendations are broadly in line with what we have discussed today in terms of access requirements for students with visual impairment as they go through the leaving certificate cycle. We are quite involved there.

As Ms Doherty noted, there is such inconsistency and confusion regarding the leaving certificate accommodations or all examination accommodations for students with visual impairment. Our evidence would show that one student can get something while another cannot and there is no logic to or rationale as to why that decision has been made. The exclusion of students and their needs is key in terms of accommodations. I do not wish to look outside of Ireland all of the time but tremendous work has been done in the UK and the US regarding reasonable accommodations.

We should look outward in those instances.
