Special Committee on Covid-19 Response

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

Mr. Seán Ó Foghlú:

As far as I am aware, the Government is considering updating the travel advice. It has been made clear that there will be an update regarding travel advice and the arrangements that are to be put in place for isolation and so on. The Department of Education and Skills does not have a role in monitoring the self-isolation of school students or parents.

If a school student is required to isolate after returning from abroad under the circumstances the Deputy set out, after a sun holiday or for whatever reason, he or she should not be permitted to come to school during that self-isolation process.
