The Covid-19 Response Plan for the safe and sustainable reopening of primary and post-primary schools was published 27th July 2020. In addition Circulars 45/2020 and 0046/2020 outline the Covid-19 operational supports that are being made available to assist with re-opening of recognised schools.

These supports are made available to all recognised primary and post-primary schools in the free education sector and, through an application process, to recognised fee-charging schools. There is no funding for any private educational establishments outside of these categories such as the school referred to by the Deputy.
