Five of those teenagers had independent supervisors and rooms, and in three of those cases it was for stress. I checked the figures with the Department of Education and Science and there has been a 20% increase in independent rooms and supervisors in the past two years. That is a huge increase. The Minister needs to do an analysis on that to determine for what those rooms are being used. If it is for stress related illness, we have to consider the timing and the pressure of this examination, and the question of leaving certificate examination reform.
