- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Education and Skills: School Closures: Discussion with Minister for Education and Skills (6 Nov 2018)
Ruth Coppinger: As a Deputy for the area, I found it hard to get information. I accept the principals are the absolute priority but I was waiting to see what they were posting on Facebook.
