Leaving Cert Exams Could Be Delayed By A Couple Of Weeks This Year
The Education Minister has repeatedly insisted the exams will go ahead despite concerns over students missing school because of restrictions.
Schools are set to remain shut for the rest of this month.
Political Editor with the Sunday Times, Stephen O’Brien says February 1st is a crucial date:
"There isn't a lot of wriggle room around that, possibly another week is about as much as some people believe they have. One of the things that's been considered is delaying the date of the exam. I think it's the first Wednesday in June. The reckoning is that the Leaving Cert classes have simply not had enough classroom time."
