Ms Martina Mannion:

I will give the Senator a broad outline of the Reasonable Accommodations at Certificate Examinations, RACE, scheme. We know that accommodations granted at junior certificate can be reactivated at leaving certificate. I obviously do not know the detail of the individual case. The best thing for a parent to do is to engage with the school which in turn engages with the State Examinations Commission, SEC, and all of this can be gone through. As the Senator is aware, if a school, candidate or a parent is unhappy with any decision in relation to reasonable accommodations, they can access the independent appeals committee which is entirely separate to the SEC. That is probably the best course of action to take in response to a specific request for a child. Mr. Doody might have something to add.
