As Ireland continues to ease Covid restrictions and sectors reopen, teachers of dance, drama, and yoga claim they are being "forgotten about", with no clear roadmap in place for the return of indoor classes.

The Performing Arts Educators of Ireland will be holding a national silent protest on Monday outside Cork Opera House and Leinster House in Dublin City at 11am in bid to get the government to immediately "address the resumption of indoor classes (dance, drama, music) for the performing arts sector including all studios, stage schools and academies".
