It is unclear to me whether the Deputy is suggesting that all decisions on public health be made by school principals and management. At no stage did I think that was appropriate and at no stage did school principals and management ask to have that burden placed upon them. It was always accepted that adjudications on Covid-19 would have to be made by those who are expert in that field. It is happening elsewhere therefore it is happening in schools. I am not clear about what the Deputy is actually asking-----
