Leo Varadkar (FG), Dublin West

I thank the Deputies for raising the two issues. I heard many of the stories about maths paper 1. It does seem like it was a very hard paper and that caused much distress for students and, indeed, their teachers. My understanding is that maths paper 2 was a bit more student-friendly and user-friendly.
I should clarify that, of course, Government and the Minister do not write the papers, nor should we. The papers are prepared by the State Examinations Commission-----
