479. To ask the Minister for Agriculture, Food and the Marine if there is a recognition of students with dyslexia with regard to passing exams for the green certificate (level 6) in agriculture; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [23229/18]

Teagasc deliver the Green Cert on a fulltime, part-time and distance education basis. The content and delivery of the Green Cert is an operational matter for Teagasc. I understand that Teagasc endeavour to provide appropriate support and reasonable accommodation at exams where students have recognised learning difficulties based on the individual’s needs assessment.
