The chairwoman of the Green Party has hit out at “ignorant” comments made by the Tánaiste, claiming he needs to “educate himself” on homeschooling.

Pauline O’Reilly says she has been contacted by many upset young people after Micheál Martin said he is “not a fan” of homeschooling as it leads to problems with socialisation.
