A significant amount of very imporant work is done within th next four weeks. A lot of students who "stay at home for the last month to study" end up doing brutal in the LC. Usually the better students will keep going in as they realise they will get more of the teachers time dduring these weeks.
The school is obliged to report total absence in excess of 20 days but I can't imagine there will be any follow up of a near 19 year old close to the Leaving Cert.I think all days missed by students of 20 days or over 20 days will be assessed? I'm open to correction.

The latter detail in your post - age 19 close to the Leaving Cert. - is entirely irrelevant.

While I agree the 20 days absence will be followed up and reported on at school level, nothing will be done after that. The system is beyond breaking point; the age 19 and close to LC point is certainly not irrelevant.
As I've already said check the school policy. Simple as.
One question for Lionstour - Do they have an obligation to follow up where the student is over 18 ? I believe that they cannot follow up with a 4 or 5 year old, as there is no legal obligation to send your child to school until 6 in Ireland ( or is this an urban myth).
As do I.I'm surprised that you are confident that nothing will be done.
...
I speak from experience.
As do I.
Twice for various reasons, we have been 'reported' - the school sent us a letter telling us they were obliged to do so (it's a bright line distinction - absent 20 days yes or no - they can't apply discretion if there are valid explanations). We heard nothing on either occasion.
