I thank the Secretary General and his officials for coming before the committee. They have answered a wide range of questions. I refer to the very sobering comments by the acting Chief Medical Officer that we are in the middle of a changing environment and I accept that the Department is planning within this. I also accept there are many parts within the school community, which can make it very difficult to make predictions. Many parents are watching this and they have heard the phrase "as fully as possible". Are officials planning for full school days from September?
