Sinn Féin's education spokesperson Donnchadh Ó Laoghaire has said there is a striking lack of clarity around who knew what and when about the errors in the Leaving Cert calculated grades process

He told the Dáil there has to be an "absolute guarantee" that every student who missed out on a college place will now get one.Mr Ó Laoghaire also asked for clarity on the level of experience of the software company involved.

He said he was informed of the error on Friday and had a detailed discussion on the matter with Taoiseach Micheál Martin and Tánaiste Leo Varadkar on Monday. In a statement, the Cork North Central TD also said that no student should be penalised or lose out as a result of grade increases for other students.

Speaking on RTÉ's Morning Ireland she said she understands why the Department of Education withheld the information from students, saying she believes their intention was to wait until they had all the details before telling those impacted.

Similar to the Murder of Paul Quinn in Monaghan by Sinn Fein/PIRA, who knew what and when, has Conor Murphy meet with An Garda Siochana to clarify Sinn Fein/PIRA's position in relation to the Murder of Paul Quinn...

That's odd, SF normally very comfortable with the concept of 'who knew what & when'.
