I will be brief, a Cheann Comhairle. There is huge anxiety out there among leaving certificate students. The way they were informed last night, namely, via social media, was not the way they should have been. This Chamber, Dáil Éireann, should have a proper debate. Let the Minister for Education come and outline exactly the detail that has been presented to her and let us explore some of the practical options that could ease the anxiety for students. As I said here last week, we should be looking at an alternative model that is neither the current approach or the hybrid one but one that eases the anxiety of students. We should be given the opportunity to have that debate.
