PQ 112
112. Deputy John Lahart asked the Minister for Education and Youth the rationale for maintaining the requirement of a minimum grade of C2 in higher level Irish for entry to Professional Master of Education programmes in primary teaching, given that applicants who took A Level Irish in Northern Ireland meet this requirement with a grade C, and that applicants may have failed higher level English or mathematics once they hold a C2 in Irish; if her Department has considered reviewing this requirement in light of the current shortage of primary teachers; and if she will make a statement on the matter.
