    Genuinely stressed if a student decides to make the decision to sit study is being greatly affected for different and personal circumstances going in under stressful circumstance because unsure what is the right decision. Exams are totally affected already. Postpone for 4 weeks for all. Those who sit tomo are going to be stressed with all of this. Some don't have a choice as may have sick family members and not worth the risk

    Dear Candidate



    The Law Society is monitoring the advice being issued by the Health Protection Surveillance Centre (HPSC).

    This is an evolving situation. The Society notes the revised guidance issued this morning stating that from 6pm today all indoor gatherings of more than 100 people should be cancelled. Having regard to this advice, the Society is offering students scheduled to sit the remaining FE-1 examinations tomorrow (Friday, 13 March) and Monday (16 March) the option of sitting the remaining examinations in their current venue with less than 100 people. Alternatively, for those candidates who are uncomfortable with sitting an examination in the current environment, we will issue a refund for the two remaining examinations. We will also provide an additional sitting of the examination in European Union Law and the Law of Torts in the coming months.

    We would be grateful if you might indicate by return whether you intend sitting either or both examinations to fe



    If you are unclear on the above arrangements, please contact Victoria Gleeson on 01 672 4934.



    Kind regards



    FE-1 Section

    As it is an evolving situation will they not go ahead if too people say to sit?

    “Coming months” is also extremely vague and unhelpful!

    Absolute disaster!

    Exactly what we predicted. "Don't worry - We're putting 99 people in a room to be safe"

    That's a disgrace, complete dereliction. How do they propose to ensure less than 100 people in the venue first of all? Are there going to be any - any - visible changes made to ensure better hygiene etc? Irresponsible

    I completely agree! Don’t know how to just say ok let’s do this now.. and committing to an exam on Monday is huge too given the evolving situation!

    "An additional sitting in the coming months" doesn't help with any decision making.

    Even if the exam was put off until next November I still don't think that'd give me enough time to cover that behemoth of a chapter

    They are totally down playing how serious it is they shouldn’t be allowed to have the exams go ahead full stop. Most of us are in our 20s/30s and older bracket with ageing parents who are 55/60+ bracket and risk infecting

    Same. Can't really explain how, but this definitely feels like it has thrown a spanner in the works with todays study

    No dates for the alternate sittings either so you don't even know

    I’m extremely angry at their response!
    A blanket decision would have been better for all
    My dad is 68.. how do I choose between sitting an exam and possibly risking infection!?
