Talks today on continued use of facemasks in schools

The continued use of facemasks in schools will be the focus of talks today.

Public health advisers and officials from the Department of Education are meeting to consider what Covid measures should stay in place after the mid term break.

It's the first formal review of the situation in schools since restrictions in wider society eased.

CEO of the National Parents Council Aine Lynch says many parents want to see the rules around masks relaxed.
