JACKY HYNES,
Sir, - The Department of Education and Science regards the comments attributed to two individuals in your report of June 21st on this year's Leaving Certificate music papers as unfair, unwarranted and not typical of the responses it has received.
In particular, the Department categorically rejects the implication contained in the headline to the article and wishes to point out that all Leaving Certificate music papers were prepared, typeset and produced to the required professional standards. - Yours, etc.,
JACKY HYNES, Press Officer, Department of Education and Science, Dublin 1.
