Education (Leaving Certificate 2021) (Accredited Grades) Bill 2021 [Seanad]: Committee and Remaining Stages
Dail Éireann — 2021-05-19
============================================================

Donnchadh Ó Laoghaire (SF), Cork South-Central

To be clear, I appreciate there is no bad faith or anything like that in not publishing this. I appreciate the Minister is not deliberately concealing anything. However, the fact remains that this formula and the process connected to it will not become public until after the results are issued. It is different from marking schemes, when we take into consideration the controversies here and elsewhere over the past 12 months and the difficulties that have become very apparent with standardisation and the risks that exist. It is in the interests of addressing that and ensuring confidence in the process that we are calling for this to be published and, accordingly, tabling this amendment. I will be pressing the amendment.
