Dates for Leaving Cert 2010

[declanja]

Next year the June Bank Holiday is late, 7th June. Does anyone know if the leaving Cert will start then on Wednesday 9th? Trying to plan our holidays! I have checked the State Examination Board website but its not updated.

I would expect that the State Examinations Commission probably has the dates decided, and that if you phoned them they would tell you. Participants on this forum might speculate and arrive at the wrong judgement.

[macnas's post arrived as I was composing mine; I have no idea if it is speculation or information, so my comment is not related to that.]

this shows the past start dates so I'd say 9th June would be the start date next year

The standardised student's journal states Wednesday, 9th June.

Thank you all for your help. Can I presume that the exams follow the same schedule each year? I see in 2009 that Chemistry was on day 13, the second Tuesday, which would be 21 June 2010 next year. Trying to arrange holidays and Chemistry will be our daughters last exam.

It is likely to be similar but you can't presume. I would contact them and ask.

That would be very risky. The Examinations Commission has changed the sequencing of examinations in recent years in order to try to arrange things a bit better for candidates; they might try to tweak things again.

From page 15, note no. 5 on this pdf to the State Examinations Commission website "The start date for the 2010 Certificate Examinations will be Wednesday 9th June."
Can't see anything about actual timetables though
