Norma Foley (Kerry, Fianna Fail) | Oireachtas source

I thank the Deputy. To clarify the question of announcements first and discussions next, all discussions have taken place first and announcements have then been made, and they have been done collaboratively. When the Department has made announcements, similar announcements have been made by those who have been at the table also.

In terms of the results from the November 2020 exams, that will be in early February. Reference was made to the leaving certificate. The process is moving forward and there is another meeting of the advisory group. The contingencies that are already in place remain in place but further plans are being assessed.
