Gerry Murphy, Northern Secretary, reports that Minister Weir has agreed to an emergency meeting with INTO and the other members of the NITC. The meeting will be to discuss the plans for a wider re-opening of schools and proposals being developed by the Department of Education to have principals and teachers run summer schemes in July and August.
Mr Murphy has been clear with the Department that the August 17th date and the issue of summer schemes are matters that should have been consulted on directly with the INTO long before now.
