Mr. Seán Ó Foghlú:

It is not a case of social distancing not applying. Rather, it is a case of different sets of arrangements depending on the years within classes. We have advice from the health authorities, which we are seeking to work through with school authorities in considering different ways in which different schools can manage within the overall framework of the health guidance. We will put departmental guidance in place to help translate that for the school sector. As such, we are confident that, in the context of the question the Deputy set out, there will be capacity to work the advice through in a way that will enable the children to return to school and the school's staff to be safe.
