I also notice that in his opening statement, Mr. Ó Foghlú outlined that the aim is to prevent Covid-19 getting into any school. That obviously is the aim of the game but in the event of a child or a teacher becoming ill with Covid-19, which is a likely situation, will the State carry the liability for any cases that may follow or will the Department expect the board of management or patron to be liable?
