It’s just one of a number of approaches taken by universities as doors have reopened.

A UCC spokesperson said that students are required to wear face coverings when attending lectures, and that lanyards would be made available to those with a medical exemption. Although the wearing of face masks is mandatory during lectures in all of Ireland’s universities, the approach taken by each institution differs – specifically in relation to when exemptions apply and how those who refuse to wear masks will be dealt with.

Those who have other reasons – including “extreme anxiety” – can obtain an exemption if they present a letter from their GP or the university’s health service outlining their reasons for not being able to wear a mask. The University of Limerick said that those who refuse to wear a face covering will be asked to leave lectures and classrooms as a courtesy to other students.
