A lot of the questions have already been asked but I have two quick ones. Irish Sign Language has been an official language of Ireland since 2017 but has yet to be introduced as a leaving certificate subject. I know it is an optional module within the LCA, but it has not been added as a subject yet. Are there any plans for that? I have also heard from some schools in my dáilcheantar that there is talk of separate exams being brought in for Gaeilge sna scoileanna T1 agus T2 don Ardteist agus go mbeidh páipéar difriúil le haghaidh an dá scoil. Is that fair and is that going to happen?
