The administration of medicines in school is the subject of an agreement that has been reached by the Irish National Teachers Organisation (INTO) and the Catholic Primary Schools Management Association (CPSMA). While this agreement specifies that no teacher can be required to administer medicine or drugs to pupils, it also sets out procedures that must be followed where a teacher or teachers agree to do so.
