Olivia Mitchell (Dublin South, Fine Gael)

I seek the adjournment of the Dáil under Standing Order 32 to discuss a matter of urgent importance, namely, the mistakes in yesterday's leaving certificate higher level accountancy paper, which caused great upset in my constituency at a time of great stress for higher level students, and the need for clarification that those who would not have chosen to answer the only questions available to them in the early part of the exam will not be penalised. The Minister must be conscious that unless she gives immediate assurance to those students that this major error will have a further negative impact on performance in the remaining exams this week.
