Imagine what this would do for school students. A young student has taken time to correspond with the Oireachtas to highlight flaws or an unfairness regarding the time afforded to students to complete examination papers. This would do more than many protests outside the gates of the House. It would also be a great example of the committee's role in dealing with petitioners who advocate for changes.
