Paul Kehoe: There is quite a number of retired teachers who do supervision in the exam halls. Can retired teachers correct examinations?
- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Education and Skills: Junior Cycle Examination Results 2022: State Examinations Commission (25 Oct 2022)
Paul Kehoe: Is there are a cut-off as to the number of years a teacher can be retired while still doing corrections in light of changes to the curriculum and what is happening in the classroom? People who have been retired for 20 years would not know the curriculum in the same way as people who retired five years ago.

Paul Kehoe: As Deputy O'Sullivan said, and from the experience of my own friends, both male and female, some of whom are single, the very minute they finish in the classroom they want to go travelling for the two or three months. When they get married and have a family, they want to spend time with their kids during the summer holidays. If the witnesses had the Minister for Education in front of them,...

Paul Kehoe: Should it be considered part of a teacher's contract that he or she would have to correct examinations? We must get serious about this. The situation must improve. Ms Feeney says she hopes that next year it will not be the case that a lot of people will be on holiday, which they were due to Covid. I throw that out as an idea.
- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Education and Skills: Junior Cycle Examination Results 2022: State Examinations Commission (25 Oct 2022)
Paul Kehoe: I have just one final question before I bring other committee members back in. The junior certificate is a very important examination because it prepares students for the career path they might want to take. I strongly believe that students should have their junior certificate results before they choose the subjects they want to take on in fifth and sixth years. Does Ms Feeney believe that...
- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Education and Skills: Junior Cycle Examination Results 2022: State Examinations Commission (25 Oct 2022)

- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Education and Skills: Junior Cycle Examination Results 2022: State Examinations Commission (25 Oct 2022)
Paul Kehoe: Okay. I support Senator Dolan on one thing, which is social media. The SEC is now engaging with a different generation of young people, including those aged 45 and below. If the SEC wants to get people in, it has to get involved with social media platforms such as Twitter, Instagram and TikTok. Getting behind the scenes and under the bonnet of what happens has to be done on social media.
