Special Committee on Covid-19 Response

Impact of Covid-19: Education – Return to School and School Transport (Resumed)

Mr. Páiric Clerkin:

We are completely focused on devising and implementing a plan that will ensure this objective is doable. That is why the stakeholders within the education sector have been working on an ongoing basis, combining their strength and working together to ensure it can be done. I am talking about the management bodies, professional associations such as our own, the unions, our education centres and many of our school leaders. These have all been working together to come up with solutions to the different challenges schools will face. That is why we have a resource bundle. It is a live document, which is updated daily and weekly to ensure that, as these challenges are overcome, there is a draft plan that can be implemented in every county.
