The current provision that was made available in 2022 is now under review by the State Examinations Commission, which has jurisdiction over this. The SEC has informed me that the review is continuing and that it contains consultation and engagement with several stakeholders. I have also been assured that it is a high priority for the SEC and it is working to complete the process, which is at an advanced stage, as soon as possible.

I have met with Epilepsy Ireland and I can confirm that the SEC also met with Epilepsy Ireland. I am conscious of the points raised by the Deputy and I know this issue is of particular interest to him. I am also conscious of the points raised by Epilepsy Ireland and I am sure the SEC is also equally as conscious of the points raised.

The opportunity to have a second sitting of the leaving certificate exam is one I believe firmly in. We achieved that in the past couple of years and we want to give every opportunity to students to maximise their ability.
