123 Mr. R. Bruton asked the Minister for Education and Science if he has satisfied himself with the fairness of the system for deciding eligibility for the accommodation on spelling and so on in respect of the leaving certificate examination for persons with dyslexia; if his attention has been drawn to the fact that at least one person granted the accommodation was tested at a substantially higher percentile than those refused; if he has further satisfied himself that all schools are equally equipped to submit the supporting documentation for pupils seeking a waiver and that the appeal system does not re-test the appellant but simply reverts to the original deciding psychologist for their assessment; and if he will make a statement on the matter.
