The Leaving Cert exams will go ahead in the traditional format in June 2022, the Government has confirmed today.

Education Minister Norma Foley said although the exams will revert back to the traditional style, they would be "radically different" from students' experiences in previous years 2019/2018 because there will now be a "considerable" choice on the paper and less content prepared to be studied.
