Covid-19 (Special Educational Needs Provision): Statements
Dail Éireann — 2021-01-21
============================================================

Norma Foley (FF), Kerry

I thank the Deputy and appreciate his positive contribution. He referred to all who work in the school community and he particularly referred to boards of management, which I also acknowledge personally. These are individuals who volunteer and generously give so much of their time. I acknowledge their contribution as well and that of the entire community, which the Deputy also referred to.
The Deputy referred to those who work in school transport. Again, I have always appreciated that it is very much the collective and the community in education. This is our priority. The Deputy mentioned moving forward with safety for all. That is exactly the view we are taking and we have always taken. It is safety for all in the education sector.
