I have a question for the National Parents Council Post Primary. Have its members who have been told to isolate their children for Covid-related reasons received the support they need in order for their children to be educated? At the peak of the pandemic, I was contacted by many second year and fifth year students worried about how they would catch up this year. Is the ground that was lost being made up in an adequate manner?

I know there has been an increase in the number of guidance counsellors. Is there sufficient access to guidance counsellors in schools?
