As students continue to sit their junior and leaving examinations the Leaving Cert maths paper one exam on Friday attracted heavy criticism from many students who felt it was excessively difficult and unfair
.
While Monday's maths paper two exam was generally well-received where the opposite could be said about paper one.
Local Senator Robbie Gallagher has raised the issue in the Seanad yesterday, the chief whip of the Seanad said he has also sent a letter to the Minister for Education Norma Foley in relation to this matter.
Senator Gallagher has been speaking to our reporter Ronan Gargan.
The Fianna Fail Senator has been telling Ronan about the problems around the maths paper and he has also been speaking about the retained firefighter industrial action that is currently underway.
