“You have to be accountable as a minister. Hiding away in the department doing briefings and then issuing press releases about it is not acceptable.” Sinn Fein’s Pearse Doherty said that parents, students and school transport operators had been left in the dark. “By the time you’re talking about publishing your plan, we may be just three weeks out from reopening schools. I get that some of this is complex but some of it isn’t.
He added: “A lot of work is being done by the Minister for Education, by the department, by the teachers’ unions, by principals and school partners to get everything in place that we need for the schools to open at the end of August. “There are other countries that have suffered much worse than us in this pandemic and never closed their schools fully,” he said.
