The number of students who took the optional Junior Certificate Irish oral test in 2012 is 7,355 in 142 schools. These figures are indicative. As schools hold these tests themselves our experience has been that the final picture will only become known when the resulting process is complete which will be later in the summer.

The total number of students entered for Junior Certificate Irish this year is 51,385. The written examinations are on 7th June.
