The Irish Second Level Students Union is describing a meeting with the Education Minister as a 'really positive discussion.'
Norma Foley met stakeholders last night, on planning the format for this year's Leaving Cert - no decision was made, with further talks in the coming days.
The Irish Second Level Students Union is calling for a mix of written exams and accredited grades this summer.
Its Úachtarán Emer Neville wants a decision on the Leaving Cert made as soon as possible:
"We're hoping for one in the near future, and it was something we echoed in the meeting.
"Something that was echoed by a number of people in the meeting is that students have suffered, a lot of stress and anxiety, and whatever the decision is there needs to be a decision made soon."
