    I think if exams were starting say on Monday, they definitely would have been called off. But because they made the decision to go ahead with Criminal and Constitutional they probably feel they have to finish the sitting now

    Definitely. With so few left they are probably just pushing ahead, but had they been a week later I doubt we would have been sitting them at all.

    Personally glad we got them over and done with now, couldn't handle having them hanging over me for any longer.

    Tort

    Res ipsa loquitur? We covering it? Due a run or not?

    Could EU and Tort be called off?

    From the Irish Times
    "It is expected that the announcement will involve the closure of schools and colleges and other public facilities and include an appeal to businesses to facilitate remote working where possible.

    Restrictions on public transport are also likely, it is believed.

    It is expected that the announcement will amount to a general shutdown."

    Could they been deemed a public facility? Are the law society a public body?

    It exercises statutory functions? Don't know if that makes it a public body or not though

    I hope they don’t get called off though I just want to get them over and done with. What they need to do is to take more measures like invigilators wearing cloves specially when touching our legislations. Tables and chairs should be sanitised and a good distance between the desks.

    It's grounded by the Solicitors Act 1954 So surely deemed a public body?

    Would be very interesting to see the repercussions if the last 2 were to be called off. Surely they would have to do something for those who were to sit them?

    Personally, I don't think I could concentrate in the exam if I heard people coughing. I'll still go if they're on, but hey, I could just be looking for an excuse for myself.

    We’ll have to just keep working until we hear from the Law Society. I wouldn’t be surprised if they proceed.

    We won’t hear for a few hours if we hear anything at all. With the measures having just been announced they’ll be deciding themselves for a while I’d say. Have you tried?

    Leo said all schools and colleges to close. What's the story so?

    Odds on the law society having 99 people per room to avoid the "indoor gatherings of 100 people"? :D

    If they cancel they’ll probably let us know later on. But I doubt it.

    Like they surely can't go ahead when the government is telling them not to? Also examiners having to correct papers from 100's of people who have no doubt been coughing and sneezing and sweating over

    I would suggest everyone keep plugging away at the study anyway until we hear something from the law society

    I wonder is there an obligation on the Red Cow to call it off since it is their facility and they're providing a venue for over 100 people. Anyone staying there able to ask?

    I just rang the law society and they said they don’t know yet, but they will email and put it on their website once they have made a decision.

    Just asked at the legislation drop off desk and they had no idea what was going on. They said communication from the Law Society will be in whatever manner they’ve communicated with us before - so likely by email.

    Hah, was coming on to spread the news re. the banning of gatherings and saw yez were all over it before the news properly broke :P

    Recent article for anyone who's interested https://www.rte.ie/news/coronavirus/2020/0312/1121820-coronavirus/

    I wouldn't bury the books just yet. I'd imagine if it was going ahead, the numbers would just be more spread out

    If candidates get sick from sitting an exam the law society will have a lot to answer
