Norma Foley (FF), Kerry

All steps that have been necessary thus far have been taken. I have outlined for the House all the various aspects, for example, the orals and music practicals, that have already taken place and worked well, largely due to the considerable support provided by schools on the ground, the resources put in place by the Department and the strong, collaborative and supportive approach taken to making accommodations for exams of that nature. LCA orals took place between 3 and 12 May and proficiency tests for out-of-school languages took place last Saturday. All of these were run positively. There has been significant engagement by students through their use of the portal.
