There has been further criticism of the government after Eamon Ryan admitted he found out about errors in the Leaving Cert grades last Friday.

The government and the Department of Education have been accused of lacking "transparency" after it emerged on Wednesday that the two errors, effecting 7,200 grades were identified a week previously.
