I have a female friend who now teaches in that same school, numbers aren't much different nowadays think she said there's now 40 odd in the whole school. Secondary was a different story though, that involved taking a bus to the large town where there was 30 something of us in s class. Similar tale to where my kids now go, the school even had a sign displayed up until very recently informing residents of the locality that the school was full, and wasn't accepting new enrolments. There was even an appeal lodged with ABP to prevent a new housing dev, the main reason for the objection was the lack of space in the local school. So, I don't see how it's realistically possible to safely space the children apart, and enforce social distancing in an already jam packed school. I'm sure keeping the kids apart both in the classrooms the yard and the commute to and from is going to be an absolute cake walk for the teachers.

The kids will be spaced out and there will be appropriate procedures around social distancing. Primary schools may be back in late June on a phased basis for short periods of time to give kids a taste of school then. If the initial phased and limited attempts don't work, they will be halted. All very easy to understand. All things that you can't do in pubs with drunken fools. Your position ends up as the average Leaving Certificate student being no different to the drunken 30-year-old yob with ten pints in him on a Saturday night in Temple Bar.

This would also allow for physical distancing. "We are conscious that sixth year students are trying to prepare for the Leaving Cert in very difficult circumstances. Rather than trying to bring everyone back, we might look at that group and see if we can do something for them."" There was a more detailed report somewhere else about it, but can't find that at the moment.

I will welcome some actual clarify and detailed plan of how they're going to try and implement it, maybe they will open the schools five days a week, but only certain classes attend on certain days, but there's no point you proclaiming things are really easy to understand, and then go on to make up hypothetical scenarios and put your own twist on things. **Shrugs*"
