'Decision-makers don't know what's happening in schools': Cork principal on contact tracing changes

Decision was made by people who have no idea what goes on in a primary school classroom, says Cork principal

'I’m not sure would parents accept that their child wouldn’t be a close contact if they are sharing desks,' said Seamus O'Connor, principal of Scoil Bhride girls' national school, Crosshaven, Co Cork. Picture: Eddie O'Hare

“We are happy to be back, it’s just this latest move has put a lot of pressure on principals to go almost into the realm of public health.” 

That's according to Seamus O'Connor, principal of Scoil Bhríde, a primary school in Crosshaven, Co Cork.
