Leaving Certificate 2020 Calculated Grades: Statements
Dail Éireann — 2020-10-01
============================================================

Norma Foley (FF), Kerry

To clarify, the seriousness of the situation is not in any way underestimated. I would say to the Deputy that at all points I acknowledge that the primacy and principle in the situation is and has always been the students and their best interests.
In terms of not getting the basic detail right, in an ideal world there would be no mistakes and no errors. We do not live in an ideal world. Therefore, mistakes and errors can occur. It is very important that when an error occurs or a mistake is made, every possible proactive action that needs to be taken to correct that error is taken, and that is what is occurring now.
