Related to isolation rooms, it was brought to my attention that there is a school in south County Dublin that was attempting to construct an awning over an outdoor handwashing system they had, through work with the parents, put in during the summer. However, it was subject to planning permission and did not have a planning exemption as a piece of Covid infrastructure. Are ASTI members coming back with similar stories of isolation rooms or other structures they are trying to construct and are being stalled in doing so by onerous planning processes?
