“LC students can’t be left waiting until June for a decision. The virus is stressful enough for young people, they need clarity.” #LeavingCert2020 -@RoisinShortall

‘We all accept that tough decisions have to be taken but they have to be the right decisions.Issues such as lack of affordable housing, access to healthcare & provision of public services etc all still exist & require an approach which delivers these services in a universal way’

‘The Social Democrats want to be in a Government which delivers social democratic policies. When normality returns public services must be delivered in universal way. Fine Gael have favoured delivering services privately & relying on the market. That’s not an acceptable approach’

‘We’ve been doing a lot of briefings and meetings online but legal advice is that the Dáil cannot meet in a virtual way. That’s why Biz Committee has moved towards establishing a Covid committee which would allow TDs to questions Ministers & hold Gov to account’ @RoisinShortall
