Date Posted:19:27:07 03/05/07 Mon Author: An Coimisiún le Rincí Gaelacha 2006 Subject: 2.10 An Ghaeilge and the Examinations
2.10.1 Candidates may take any sections of the examination (except the Irish section) through Irish or English as they may so wish and must be facilitated accordingly.
2.10.2 A candidate permanently resident in Ireland must pass in the Irish language section as well as in the other sections of the examination concerned in order to qualify for the A.D.C.R.G., T.C.R.G. or T.M.R.F. Certificates.
2.10.3 In the case of adjudicators and teachers who have qualified for certificates without passing the Irish language section because of living abroad at the time of examination and who later come to reside permanently in Ireland, such certificates shall not be valid for annual re-registration purposes after more than two years of the holders coming to live in Ireland unless in the meantime they have taken and passed the Irish section of the appropriate examination. Such adjudicators and teachers must therefore take the Irish language examination when required by An Coimisiún to do so. The Coimisiún may however at its discretion extend the two-year period in certain cases.
2.10.4
In the marking of the Irish section some allowance may be made for candidates' ages and educational background.
2.10.5
The Coimisiún shall appoint an examiner for the Irish language section of the examination. When at any time that person is unable to officiate he or she may, in consultation with the Examination Authority, appoint a suitable substitute.
