Obviously Mr. Tattan will agree that the circumstances of the leaving certificate 2020 class have been unfair in that they missed out on three months of scheduled schooling because the schools were closed due to Covid-19. Some of those students are now going to proceed to do the leaving certificate in November. Has anything been done to make the pathway to that leaving certificate easier for those students in the same way that I understand the leaving certificate students of 2021 have had the course slightly amended to reflect the loss of schooling they had?
