I propose to take Questions Nos. 483 and 484 together.
All schools are required to have in place a school COVID-19 Response Plan which contains the key measures for infection prevention control in schools. Public Health have re-iterated that these measures are effective in minimising the risk of transmission of Covid-19 in schools and that there is currently no change required to these measures. Schools have been supported by a funding package of over €400m to put in place and maintain these key measures on an ongoing basis as we continue to live with Covid-19. Work is currently underway in relation to the teacher allocation process for the 2021/22 academic year and the continuation of the Covid-19 supports in line with public health advice will be considered as work progresses in this area.
