Green party leader Eamon Ryan remains hopeful that the traditional Leaving Certificate exam will go ahead this year.
However, the Transport Minister has warned people not to book foreign holidays this summer as he believes travel will not fully reopen before the end of the year.
It comes as Cabinet is expected to sign off on a raft of new measures and restrictions on travel this morning.
However, it is not expected that any decisions will be made on a reopening of schools at today's crunch meeting, as Education Minister Norma continues discussions with teaching unions and other representative bodies.
Asked if the State exams will take place, Mr Ryan said: "The first priority is getting special needs students back but the second priority is getting Leaving Cert students back in school, and we will be able, in my mind, to do a written Leaving Cert."
He said the Leaving Cert is "the fairest system" and it would be good for the mental health of students to hold it.
The Ministers HOPEFULL so is every oulone going to bingo .Then the Brilliantly dismissive bit (Education Minister Norma) no second name even the rag writers have no respect for her.
