Much of the uncertainty surrounding this year's Leaving Certificate exams is inevitable, given the Government's wish to proceed with the exams, if possible.
There are things that can't be decided upon now because no one knows for sure the course that this pandemic and our response to it will take.
We do know that the plan is to hold Leaving Certificate exams starting on 29 July. We don't know, as yet, what shape those exams will take in terms of timetable and structure.
That starting date is three months away - too far away to be able to have any kind of a clear picture right now as to what the public health situation will be like.
