Leo Varadkar (Dublin West, Fine Gael) | Oireachtas source

As the Deputy mentioned, that meeting is happening today. The Minister, Deputy Foley, is very keen to hear the views of all stakeholders - the teachers' unions, parent groups and student groups - and make a decision on it. As I mentioned earlier, the most important thing is that we should give leaving certificate students clarity in the very near future, without any unnecessary delay, about the format of the examination they will sit. It is only fair that we should give that information to them as soon as possible, but it is not for me to announce here. That meeting has to happen and the Minister, Deputy Foley, will make an announcement in early course.
