Picking up on the previous point in relation to school space, Mr. Loftus spoke earlier about ensuring there is enough space in the school in the classroom and having a solution in place if there is not. My thoughts turned to schools, of which I am sure there are plenty, that will not have sufficient space to meet the public health guidelines. What does the Department see as the solutions? Will it be able to support schools if they need to, for example, hire the local parish hall? If a school needs to look outside the school gates for a solution, will the Department support them in any costs involved?
