McHugh to face Dáil questions on Leaving Cert cancellation

Education Minister Joe McHugh will face Dáil questions on the cancellation of the Leaving Cert on Wednesday.

Mr McHugh announced that the exams would be cancelled and replaced with a predicted grades system last Friday. However, Labour Party whip Duncan Smith wrote to the Dáil Business Committee requesting that the session be brought forward to Tuesday. That proved impossible as the newly-formed Dáil Covid Committee has the chamber booked, so Mr McHugh will instead address the chamber on Wednesday.
