On that, I refer to accommodations for Niamh Kilcawley.
She gave me permission to use her name today. Why is Niamh finding it so difficult to progress with the leaving certificate? Ten minutes extra are provided across the board. Previously, she was given ten minutes extra per hour. The provisions do not match those she had for the junior certificate. No training was provided for the assistive technology that she received. She got assistive technology but there was no one there to train her or support her. It is a big ask of a leaving certificate student.
