The value of Easter Week Commemoration Scholarships is to be doubled. Minister for Education Michael Woods TD said the increase would be retrospective for one year and be effective for all scholarship holders from the l999-2000 academic year. The Minister also paid tribute to the seven scholarship winners (one for each of the seven signatories of the l9l6 Proclamation of Independence) for the 2000-2001 academic year. Those who won performed best in higher level papers in this year's Leaving Certificate examination in a nominated group of subjects for each award.
