There have been calls for the Minister for Education to appear before the Oireachtas Covid-19 committee.

Norma Foley, whose department published a further update to reopening schools on August 14, but did not hold a public press conference, has been called on by Labour's Education Spokesman Aodhán Ó Ríordáin to appear before the committee next week.
