There's a renewed call on the Higher Education Minister Simon Harris to demand that college exams are held remotely.

It's coming from a group of thousands of students, who say rising Covid rates are causing them to feel unsafe at the prospect of a traditional exam hall.

Some colleges have decided to hold as many exams as possible remotely, but others like UCD and NUI Galway remain on course for in person exams.

Trinity Postgrad student, Gisele Scanlon says the Government needs to stop passing the buck:

"Passing the blame back to the institutions themselves, where the institutions are actually quoting Government guidelines, and that we all stand together as members of the IUA, some members have actually decided to go online and there's a disjoint there."
