Covid-19 is a source of "extreme stress and anxiety" for teachers  who have underlying health conditions or who are living with vulnerable people, the Teachers' Union of Ireland (TUI) has said. 

The union has criticised the Department of Education for a lack of engagement over coronavirus concerns and said the department has failed to "address vital issues in recent days".
