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

Norma Foley (FF), Kerry

As I said previously, it is difficult to know the finite number of students until all the checks, reviews and balances have been put in place. In terms of the students the Deputy has referenced who will go up by at least one grade, we estimate at this point that we are talking about approximately 6,500. That is an estimate at this stage.
I can only estimate that, when students' grades go up, we are perhaps talking about a similar number but, again, I am not a statistician and I would not have that information fully available to the Deputy until the review is completed.
