Mick Barry (PBP), Cork North-Central

Regarding the next school year, when will the Covid-19 cleaning supports for schools be announced? It is now July and schools are reopening in August. They have less than two months and need to plan ahead. Will they have these cleaning supports again next year and to what extent will they have them? Last year, they found out at the last minute. There was a lot of pressure and stress. The pressure and stress would be relieved if it could be announced sooner rather than later that schools will get Covid-19 cleaning support grants. Can the Minister indicate when an announcement will be made on that?
