============================================================

Claire Kerrane (SF), Roscommon-Galway

The Minister said there will be a meeting tomorrow but is it the case she has already made the decision on the leaving certificate and she is not considering giving students a choice? I understood that was the position until the Taoiseach made the situation seem different again in an interview last weekend. Has the decision been made on this matter? Students are trying to get their voices heard. They have been clear on what they want and it is unfair that we are putting this further pressure and stress on them now and not listening to them.
