A midlands junior minister admits there's been a lot of noise from the government.
Schools will reopen on a phased basis as early as possible in February, according to a midlands junior minister.
Fine Gael's Peter Burke admits the government needs to engage fully with all stakeholders to resolve the impasse.
He says they intend to get students with additional needs back to the classroom first, followed by Leaving Cert students.
The Longford-Westmeath TD and Minister of State says he understands the public health concerns, but school resumption needs to be a priority:
