Covid-19 (Education): Statements
Dail Éireann — 2021-01-14
============================================================

Kieran O'Donnell (FG), Limerick City

I have a very quick question for the Minister of State, Deputy Madigan. I very much welcome the decision made today on special needs schools and special classes opening on 21 January, which is next Thursday.
Have parents been informed? If not, when will they be informed? Have the schools been informed? What is the process by which parents will learn, in terms of communication with schools, that their child with special needs is going back to school next Thursday?
