Nine News: Adrian Lydon reports on the Government's reaction to a school principal's criticism of the lack of departmental guidance on Muslim headdress in schools
Batt O'Keeffe's statement came as a Co Wexford secondary school principal criticised the Department of Education for failing to issue a general policy on the wearing of Muslim headdress in school.
Nicholas Sweetman, principal of Gorey Community School, which is one of the country's largest second level schools, said he felt isolated by the Department's lack of guidance to State schools and Muslim families.
