There is no way we can reschedule a timetable made by the department.

No the department won't change the timetable to suit you.

You could just do a quick search through the Leaving Cert forum. It's doubtful that you're the only person in this situation.

This has happened before and the SEC have procedures for it.

You will do one exam before the other and be sequestered during your break.

Yeah you'll have to do 3 exams in one day. It happens in most schools every year, especially for those non-natives who take up a language like Arabic or Lithuanian which isn't very popular. Once your second exam finishes you'll have a half an hour break or so, it's generally up to you, while under the supervision of an exam supervisor. You can study for the exam or whatever although you won't be able to contact anyone outside of school so you can't use your phone or the internet. It'll be a tough day for you but don't worry you definitely will be able to do the exam!
