James Bannon (Longford-Westmeath, Fine Gael)

I seek the adjournment of the Dáil under Standing Order 32 to raise a matter of national importance, namely, the disturbing level of errors in the marking of the leaving certificate, as demonstrated by the awarding of upgrades in 20% of all appeals; and the fact that the results of those appeals have come too late for many people, unfortunately, as the college courses they are entitled to take are often full by the time appeal results are issued.
