It has become very clear from the science in recent months that ventilation is one of the key factors in tackling Covid-19. At this time of year, with the Irish winter, the cold is becoming very significant. That is not as much of an issue for some modern schools and school buildings as it is for schools with older buildings. Principals are having to make difficult choices with limited or in some instances no guidance on how to manage this matter. It puts pressure on heating bills and leads to tough decisions about how to communicate to parents the guidance to give their children.
