The ex-first minister criticised the Welsh Government's decision not to push ahead and reform the school year.
Former First Minister Mark Drakeford made a stinging intervention in the Senedd following the Welsh Government's announcement to scrap its plans to shake-up the school calendar.
Drakeford could be seen trying to intervene, to which Ms Neagle said: "Can you let me finish, because I let you finish, I didn't say a word whilst you were speaking."Ms Neagle was deputy mental health minister in Mr Drakeford's cabinet.

Welsh Conservatives' shadow education minister Tom Giffard MS said: “It appears that under the strain of the upcoming vote of no confidence in the first minister, Labour is struggling to keep it together.
