The chief executive of the Irish Primary Principals Network (IPPN) has called for clear, consistent and concise information for school communities to ensure they remain open and safe.

Padraig Clerkin also criticised the failure of the Department of Education and public health officials to meet with all the partners involved before introducing the new mask-wearing restrictions at short notice.
