Norma Foley and the rest of the govt have betrayed students wishes for no traditional leaving cert this year.
I will be hosting a meeting tomorrow at 7pm via zoom, to give students a chance to let their voices be heard

This afternoon.
Earlier…
2. There have been significant changes to the Leaving Certificage assessments, across papers and other assessment components. These further adjustments aim to lessen the load for candidates.

4. With that in mind there will be a commitment that the overall grade profile of Leaving Certificate results to be issued in 2022 will be no lower in aggregate than those issued in 2021.I can also comfirm that the Junior Cycle exams will take place for the first time since 2019.

This morning/afternoon.
Government Buildings, Dublin 2.
Minister for Education Norma Foley in the Courtyard of Government Buildings, as she addresses media to provide further details of arrangements for 2022 Leaving Certificate.
Nice stole ‘n’ metal pearls.
Earlier: Arriving And Leaving
That necklace looks like a weapon a biker gang member would carry.
it’s very dated but then again so is most of the ” fashion” sported by either sex in the vicinity
those aren’t pearls…
they’re the petrified hopes, dreams and tears that once belonged to the class of 2020/21.
The coat is a crime against style. As for the hair..!! But seriously, what are they thinking. Schools are half empty. Teachers are missing. Covid is running rampant through society. There is absolutely no reasonable way the Leaving cert can continue and be fair.
The hair
I assume the amount of hair spray used violates the COP 22 climate deal
She really wins the naff fashion award
The craggy island nuns look
I have never seen a Hairdo like that….
Norma is a unique person
I think it’s know in the trade as a Vidal Buffoon… ;-)
LOL!!!
Brilliant
It’s what you’d imagine one of those state-approved haircuts in North Korea would look like.

I wonder will she start a trend? Be kinda like those ‘ironic’ mullets.
Btw her spelling isn’t too hot.
“Dictatored but not read”
Neither is mine! Lol
*known
I’m trying not to think of Lady Godiva meets that red-haired lassie from the Timotei ad years ago when she was galloping around on horseback but it’s too late for that now.
Genie.
Out.
Of.
Bottle.
**shivers**
Dot Cotton
Dot had far more elegance
She had a great big lump of a stick that was bent into a bow.
Nine comments in and they almost all about the minister’s appearance; and people wonder why political parties struggle to find female candidates prepared to run for election…
True, she’s equally as useless as her male counterparts.
Ever wonder why they struggle to get people outside of the political class to run for office?
Why it’s always a particular type groomed by the machine? Maybe wonder about that instead?
You know it’s just a bit of ribaldry but decided instead to seize what you view as the high moral ground in the comments section on the internet. Bravo. If anything Broadsheet is gender blind when it comes to taking the mickey …
this
I never judge people by what they wear but her taste is so twee I just cannot resist .
Maybe she should go back to Terry Prone

chilling
what has that got to do with the leaving cert FFS.
Keep your anti-vaxx guff for relevant threads – God knows there are enough of them on here. Maybe ask SOQ for a tiktok video to back it up
Those kids won’t ever get the chance to do their equivalent of the leaving cert. ‘anti-vaxx guff’ , no it’s dead children, if you lack the empathy to acknowledge their needless deaths, that’s on you. Not me.
That’s alright – he’s a morally bereft, mostly harmless but totally fake plastic Paddy over here for the bacon and cabbage
‘morally bereft’ The projection is strong with one. Taking a break from abusing women with your gutter mouth is it? Far easier to do it online, as you know well you’d catch a slap if you were at it in public.
