The calls include all college exams too.
Calls to postpone the Leaving Cert and college exams until the autumn have been made amid the outbreak of Covid-19, reports the Irish Examiner.
All schools and colleges in the country are currently shut until the end of the month for now to contain the spread of the infection.
This being the case, Peter Finnegan from the Teaching Council of Ireland is advocating for the postponement of all major exams.
"I would be looking at September as a target date so at least people have a date that they are working towards," Mr Finnegan said.
"It takes pressure off teachers, it takes pressure off parents and it focuses the young people that are sitting them on September as a date."
Mr Finnegan said that he would also look at September for colleges and universities to sit their final exams.
