Cavan/Monaghan Fianna Fáil TD Brendan Smith has welcomed the publication of The Roadmap for the Full Return to School.

“Reopening our schools is a top priority and Minister Foley has launched a comprehensive programme with a substantial financial package to support the full reopening of schools at the end of August.

Reopening schools and keeping students and staff safe has to be a top priority for government.  The €375 Million package of supports will be available over the coming weeks to get our 4,000 schools in every Parish in the country reopened and the importance of schools is clearly evident with 1 Million students and over 100,000 staff.   

Each school community throughout the country will work together to ensure a safe return for students and all staff”, stated Brendan Smith TD
