Norma Foley - Irish society has a 'burden of responsibility' to ensure schools can reopen

Ahead of children from the north west returning to schools on Monday next the Education Minister says Irish society has a 'burden of responsibility' to ensure schools can reopen as planned.

Preparations are continuing this weekend to allow over 300,000 students to go to class on Monday, for the first time since Christmas.

Children in the first four years of primary school, along with Leaving Cert students, will all return.

Other classes are due to go back on a phased basis over the next six weeks, but Norma Foley says that's not certain.
