Deputy Aodhán Ó Ríordáin, our education spokesperson, has been following up with quite a number of students who are appealing their leaving certificate results. The Department of Education and Skills seems to have gone to ground all of sudden. I am wondering if there is some issue here that we need to know about. Have we dates for when the appeals will be known? Is it true a helpline will commence today at 4 p.m.? Is there any truth to suggestions that further issues or, indeed, errors may have been found in the way in which the grades have been calculated?
