In accordance with the rules and programme for secondary schools, the approved course for the established leaving certificate must include not less than five approved examination subjects, of which one must be Irish. The exception to this is where a student has been granted an exemption from the study of Irish. I do not propose to make any change in respect of the Irish requirement for students following the established leaving certificate programme.
