Special Committee on Covid-19 Response
Impact of Covid-19: Education – Return to School and School Transport (Resumed)
Mr. Seán Ó Foghlú:
Absolutely. We have the initial health guidance, which was given to us in late June. That guidance looked at what was happening in Ireland towards the middle of June and the impact of school reopenings in other countries, particularly in May, because it takes two or three weeks to see the impact. The health authorities will have a better idea about the impact of school openings in other countries in June by the time we have further engagement with them and they may decide to update the guidance. They may decide it does not need updating but it is important we continue to engage with the health authorities.
