'No set timeline' for Leaving Cert talks

Housing Minister Darragh O'Brien said that the Government's priority was finding a solution that was agreeable to students, unions and parents.

Talks on the Leaving Cert between the Government and unions continue this weekend, but there is no set timeline, a senior minister has said.

Government sources have indicated that a decision on the Leaving Cert — likely allowing for a choice between a written test and calculated grades — would be made at Tuesday's Cabinet meeting.
