I welcome the four speakers today. Many of the speakers in this room and many of us who will contribute now and later come from educational backgrounds. We deal with teachers, principals and boards of management quite regularly at the moment. We must salute the work that has been done by the teaching staff, cleaning staff, bus drivers, boards of management and all of the stakeholders who have made the return to schools possible.
I note that Mr. John Boyle from the INTO mentioned in his statement that some things have improved. Please identify one or two things that have improved in terms of how we are dealing with Covid in schools.
