Minister for Health Stephen Donnelly has defended the plan for schools to reopen after the Christmas break.
“All of the information that I’ve been given, all of the advice I have says that whilst of course you can get infection within the schools, they are substantially safer, for example, than children being outside of schools,” he told RTÉ's News At One. “There’s an awful lot of safety protocols in place, an awful lot of measures that are in place - CO2 monitors, pods, masks and a lot of other things - so, I don’t think it’s fair to characterise the schools as you have.
However, he said there are “reasons for cautious optimism” in 2022 due to “advances in science and public health including the development of new treatments like antivirals and monoclonal antibodies and the continued evolution of our understanding of this virus.”
