Special Committee on Covid-19 Response
Covid-19: Review of the Reopening of Schools (Resumed)
Ms Mai Fanning:
I echo what has been said by Ms Lynch and Mr. O'Connor. I will also focus on the grey area where there are children who do not fit into a box and, for whatever reason, cannot go back to school. It is of the utmost importance that the Department facilitates them with a remote education system because some schools are not in a position to offer this facility, nor would they have the infrastructure in place for it. This is absolutely paramount and needs to be addressed for second level students. It does not matter what year they are in; it is important that it is looked at.
