Delaying reopening of schools 'acceptable' if they are not ready - Union

“There can be no departure from the specified physical distancing measures in schools,” said Michael Gillespie, TUI general secretary.

Delaying the reopening of a school is the only “acceptable” option should it not be ready in time to open with the appropriate physical distancing requirements in place.

That’s according to the Teachers’ Union of Ireland who today have published a survey of 120 second-level schools ahead of the beginning of the new academic year.
