Following on from the briefing I requested from the Library and Research Service on the provision of extra time for dyspraxia accommodation in State exams by Dr. Etaoine Howlett, senior parliamentary researcher, I ask that a full review would be conducted on the current State Examinations Commission's position regarding extra time for students with dyspraxia. Under the current rule, ten minutes' extra time may be granted per exam. However, students with dyspraxia who are currently not eligible for additional time have campaigned for more time to complete exams. In fact, Dyspraxia DCD Ireland has garnered more than 20,000 signatures from people demanding extra time. Currently, Ireland is an outlier on this issue when compared with students with dyspraxia in countries such as France, Italy and England. Will the Taoiseach agree to hold a full review on this issue?

I thank Deputy Mythen very much for raising the issue and for the work he has done with the Library and Research Service. I will undertake to ensure the report he commissioned is considered by the State Examinations Commission. I will ask the Minister, Deputy Foley, to do that as well. I am conscious that we all hear in our constituencies as well about the issue of students with dyspraxia, and the issue of students with dyslexia. If Deputy Mythen wants to send me the report, I will make sure it goes to the right place.
