    I remember reading this article a while ago:

    "Next Wednesday, after a two-year preparation period, a total of 53,789 students are due to begin the Leaving Certificate.

    However, the number of students who are sitting the ultimate State exam has fallen by more than 1,750 this year. It is the lowest number since 2009 and there is also usually a fall off from the number of students registered and those who actually sit the exams.

    Last year, 54,344 took the Leaving Cert and 3,195 sat the Leaving Cert Applied programme (LCA). This year, 3,301 student are registered for the LCA."

    ^There's the link to the article. Hope it helped!
