Decisions need to be made on the future of the Leaving Cert by the end of this month, the Minister for Higher Education has said.

Simon Harris said clarity was needed for all involved as to whether the exams could go ahead or whether they would be cancelled, as was the case for the 2020 exams, which were replaced by predicted grades.
