We have had clarification overnight from the Department of Education on the wearing of face masks in schools. Earlier today, the Taoiseach said the Minister for Education would be guided by expert advice. As the Taoiseach knows, the Ombudsman for Children, this day last week, made a strong recommendation that face masks in schools should be reviewed on a fortnightly basis.
Will the Taoiseach give a commitment that this ongoing review will take place and that we will have a debate in the House on what is happening in schools?
