The start of the leaving certificate exams is only a few weeks away. The focus will then quickly shift to correcting and getting results out. It was early September last year before leaving certificate students saw their results and nearly December before junior certificate students saw theirs. The later the results, the more difficult and stressful it can be for students. There is knock-on pressure in terms of getting college offers and accommodation. The availability of correctors contributed to the delay last year. Will the Minister outline the efforts being made to ensure that there are enough people available now to correct the leaving and junior certificate examinations this year?
