The Chief Executive of the Irish Primary Principals Network has said it has been a "difficult and challenging time" for principals, but parents have been very supportive of the new mask wearing measure in schools."We all have the same objective; we want to keep schools open but we want them to be safe and we want every mitigation measure in place to keep our school communities as safe as possible", Mr Clerkin told RTÉ's Morning Ireland.
Mr Clerkin said the biggest issue for school principals is how they can access public health advice and support in relation to Covid-19 queries. He said they want "clear consistent concise" information so every school is implementing the same measures. Prof Hegarty is calling on the Government to reconsider its stance on using HEPA filters to improve ventilation in some schools amid the ongoing risks posed by Covid-19.
