@belfastairport - only one flight arrived and still nearly an hour to wait for bags.#sortyourselvesout #majorfail

Lovely in Portstewart @WeatherCee #missingtheshowers

@drgrahamgault There are no words...... these are children! Also their failure to communicate with Primary Principals shows complete disrespect.

"We wish to thank the Minister of Education and his officials for their support."

@peterweirmla You and the AQE have failed our children Minister. You should hang your head in shame.

AQE have decided, due to COVID-19, that the transfer tests cannot proceed this year. This severely limits parental choice & children’s opportunities, with disappointment for many children & parents. I will continue to work with all stakeholders in these difficult circumstances.

@peterweirmla And once again not even the decency to inform Principals who will now be left to pick up the pieces over a holiday period again. Minister your total disregard for school staff is unbelievable!

@NAHTNInews Still waiting for our letter. Again we hear via the media. Complete disregard for Principals. Happy New Year!!

Yet again another last minute mess that could have been avoided if government had listened to school leaders before the end of term; Covid-19: Homeschooling returns for first week of January bbc.co.uk/news/uk-northe…

@drgrahamgault @RobinSwannMoH Agreed

We are hearing from the profession of an increasing lack of confidence in those behind educational decision making. Whatever next week holds, it would be extremely useful if our education workforce could hear from @RobinSwannMoH and the CMO as to the veracity of the decision.

@robbeorn @peterweirmla First I have heard this is your preferred option. I would be interested in knowing what stakeholders the Minister engaged with. Playing politics and blaming primary principals as usual.

On a night of big pre Christmas #education announcements ⁦@peterweirmla⁩ calls for #transfertests to be held in an entrants own primary school.

@Education_NI So we should be encouraging social gatherings then or are there different rules for the Minister?

Extremely privileged to have been invited to be part of a very special P7 prize giving ceremony at St Mary's PS, Saintfield today. Wishing all the wonderful boys and girls my very best as they embark on the next exciting chapter of their educational journey.

@peterweirmla Very interested to hear your criteria for deciding this. I’m sure as it is public money you will be open and transparent.

I have just announced that 16 schools from across NI will now benefit from a £40M capital investment programme. We must continue to build for the future of our children & young people.

@LindAndLime any Northern Ireland stockists of this beautiful gin? #deliverychargesareakiller
