Leaving Cert Exams get underway for the class of 2021 today.
As usual students will be sitting down to English Paper 1 from half past 9.
Due to public health measures there are more than 5 thousand exam centres being used to allow for social distancing.
This year students have the option of sitting the exams, accepting calculated grades or choosing both.
