Some entry requirements for certain courses this year should be suspended given the upheaval and grade inflation caused by calculated grades.

This is according to Aodhán Ó Ríordáin, Labour’s Education spokesman, who called on the Government to work with third-level institutions ahead of Round Two CAO offers, due on September 23. “There is a question as to whether some of the entry requirements should be suspended or changed for this year,” he said.
