On 1 May 2020, the Taoiseach announced as part of the "Roadmap for Reopening Society and Business" that schools will commence opening on a phased basis at the beginning of the 2020/2021 academic year.

My Department is engaging and working with representatives of both students and parents, on planning arrangements for the re-opening of schools in accordance with the timeframe outlined in the roadmap, and all decisions on how schools are to safely re-open and operate will be consistent with public health advice.
