The NCCA (National Council for Curriculum and Assessment) is currently holding a public consultation on the draft specifications for Leaving Certificate Irish, published in February. The consultation period is due to end on the 31 August.  

This is a very important consultation as it will impact the syllabus / course for Irish as a leaving Certificate subject for your child.

The purpose of this email is to share a guide document on the pertinent issues, as we see them, that may help you in submitting a survey or making a submission.  

Gaeloideachas recently held two seminars for parents on this issue  – one in Irish and on in English, which are available below for you to watch.  

If you have any questions about this consultation, Gaeloideachas would be happy to hear from you at: eolas@gaeloideachas.ie
