Norma Foley (FF), Kerry

As the Deputy is aware, I am very conscious of the time lost in terms of in-person teaching and learning for the class of 2022. I acknowledge the work of the advisory group. When I reference the advisory group, I want to be clear about who is involved in that. As the students, parents, teachers, joint managerial bodies and the Department are at the heart of that, it is a representative and rounded group of people who have engaged over a long time to address a variety of issues - in this instance, making provision for the leaving certificate of 2022. The accommodations that have been announced take account of that loss of in-person teaching and learning. The conclusion of that process took place yesterday. It is my intention that the detail in that regard will be sent to the schools as a matter of priority. It will be there in a very short space of time.
