Government in no rush to make decision on Leaving Cert despite pressure from Labour

Last night the Government confirmed that Leaving Cert students will not return to in-person learning next week, and will continue to learn remotely until at least February 1.

The Finance Minister says that the Government is "well aware" of the concern of Leaving Cert students but says that there will be no rush to make a decision on whether State exams would go ahead.

The Labour Party has called on the Government to make a decision on the exams next month.
