Joint Oireachtas Committee on Education and Skills

Engagement with Trade Unions on Keeping Schools Open: Discussion

Mr. Kieran Christie:

I am conscious of the time. The Deputy is quite correct that the issue of the high-risk category workers is a very blunt instrument. There are many anxious people. To outline the extent of it, some people have had cancers and other serious illnesses, and some of them are losing sleep and so forth. We have called for reassignment of those people and reasonable accommodations to be provided to them. We are renewing that call here today.
