Joint Oireachtas Committee on Education and Skills

Engagement with Trade Unions on Keeping Schools Open: Discussion

Mr. John Boyle:

Being honest about it, we would not want it to continue for too long because hand sanitisation is a Covid issue really. The 'flu vaccine would help as well during the 'flu season but we are worried about budgeting for sanitising. We got money to do us up to Christmas and when putting this grant together, the Department gave the impression it was taking into account all the initial installation costs. This was code that the Department would reduce the grant dramatically after Christmas. We are hoping this does not happen because schools have told us they ran out of this money before Hallowe'en.
