Ms Andrea Feeney:

I will address the terminology. All exams bodies need to be concerned about the integrity of the process. That is not at all to take away from the students who have special educational needs and who need to be accommodated. However, our approach recognises the high-stakes nature of the leaving certificate. We could say we will introduce additional time and that may become something that someone could use to gain an advantage. I am not talking about students with special educational needs but others. That would disadvantage all other candidates, including those with special educational needs, were it to happen.
