There is no end to the questions that need answering when it comes to education under Covid-19. Opposition TDs did their best in the limited time available to them during today's Dáil session to ask as many as they could, but there are no definitive answers to many of those queries.
The answer coming from the Minister for Education on so many issues was that he was "open", and that officials in his department were examining the issue.
That's no surprise. In relation to one Leaving Certificate issue – the difficulties facing students who have been studying subjects independently of teachers, meaning they have no teacher who can give them a calculated grade – Joe McHugh said those students were being looked at "on a case by case basis".
