What constitutes adequate PPE? Can children safely be in the one space at the one time? We should know now where we are going on these issues. There is a significant amount of PPE in the country, with a sizeable stock warehoused very close to where I come from in east Clare. Availability of hand sanitiser should not be a difficulty. I am sure it would not be beyond the capability of a State that built Ardnacrusha in a couple of months to install taps in some schools under the summer works scheme. When will the criteria be made known? I hope there are objective criteria. When will we know what they are and whether they have been met?
