Special Committee on Covid-19 Response
Impact of Covid-19: Education – Return to School and School Transport
Ms Áine Lynch:
We have health advice on the reopening of schools. That will now inform planning carried out by the Department of Education and Skills and stakeholders like ourselves. It is really important that plans for local schools are made using a partnership approach. Parents must have an input when schools plan the drop-off and collection of children in order that whatever is rolled out makes sense to both parents and schools.
I hope that a partnership approach and planning will mean that the right scenarios are put in place.
