Joint Oireachtas Committee on Children and Youth Affairs
Children's Experiences during COVID-19 Restrictions and Lockdowns: Engagement
Ms LilyRose Wogan-Martin:
I have missed many school trips. I am in sixth class. I missed my confirmation in March and it is now due to happen in November which means it will be very cold, we will probably not be able to wear dresses and will have to wear jackets. That is not helpful. I feel like we should try to make up for it because I wanted to go on a few school trips. We do a junior pioneer project. We would usually use our money for all three classes to go on a big school trip. We did still go to the chipper and it was still really fun but it could have been something more. I feel like a lot of kids will not do things like that. There are others, including leaving certificate students, who are going through worse things and a tough time. We could do something about that.
