Pupils whose siblings are at 'very high risk' of Covid-19 not offered remote learning

Brendan McGinnis, who has a number of serious health conditions, with his brother Declan, who must attend secondary school, despite the serious risk posed by Covid-19.

The siblings of children who are considered very high risk when it comes to Covid-19 are not being provided with remote learning, according to a worried mother of two.

Tracy McGinnis, who is a full-time carer to her son Brendan, says her younger son Declan is expected to attend in-person classes in secondary school, despite the serious risk Covid poses to his brother.
