340. To ask the Minister for Education and Skills if he will intervene in the case of a pupil (details supplied) in County Kildare, if he will ensure that a reader is provided to this student for their leaving certificate examination; if his attention has been drawn to the fact that this student had such a provision for their junior certificate examination and that this support resulted in the student performing well in that set of exams; if his Department will not provide a reader, if he will allow the pupil's parents pay for such a support; and if he will make a statement on the matter.

The State Examinations Commission has statutory responsibility for operational matters relating to the certificate examinations. The State Examinations Commission operates a scheme of Reasonable Accommodations in the Certificate examinations. Applications for such accommodations are submitted by schools on behalf of their students. Full details of the scheme are available for downloading from their website: www.examinations.ie/candidates/reasonableaccommodations.

In view of this I have forwarded your query to the State Examinations Commission for direct reply to you
