Covid-19 Statement from the Department of Education

24 March, 2020 - Covid-19 Statement from the Department of Education and Skills All schools, pre-schools and further and higher education settings will remain closed to students until 19 April 2020. The decision has been taken following advice from the NPHET (National Public Health Emergency Team) as part of efforts to contain the spread of Covid-19. All young people and children are urged to practice social distancing, and to minimise physical contact to keep themselves and others healthy and to limit the spread of infection. This should include minimising social contact, avoiding meeting up and keeping physical space of two metres between each other. Parents and guardians are urged to support young people and children to follow those simple guidelines. Minister for Education and Skills Joe McHugh TD said: “This is an extremely difficult time for everyone, not least students and their parents. “The decision to keep schools closed until after the Easter break is based on public health advice. It is a hugely important aspect of our continued effort to limit the spread of Covid-19. “My message to students facing exams is that they should keep focused, keep working and try, as much as possible, to prepare as normal for the state exams. We are doing everything in our power to make sure those exams happen. “Teachers and students have answered the call to remote learning with exceptional flexibility and adaptability. You are all a credit to the education system. “I am also deeply conscious of significant work being done to ensure continuity of learning across our higher and further education institutions. The impact of emergency measures has not stopped education, it has inspired innovation and we are indebted to all those continuing to provide education in these trying times.”

President Higgins - Message for our young people
Created : 23 Mar 2020, 6:41 PM
Archived : 23 May 2020, 12:00 AM
Following his consideration and signing of the Health (Preservation and Protection and other Emergency Measures in the Public Interest) Bill 2020, President Michael D. Higgins has released the following statement: “As President, I am urging all citizens, given the emergency of our situation in relation to the grave challenge to our public health, to respond in a generous way to the Health Service Executive’s advice on measures to alleviate the spread of Covid19. These new health and social measures may be difficult for many but they affect us all and we are at a point now when a person’s actions have consequences not only for themselves but for all in society. Irresponsible individual action puts all at risk. We must draw on our strengths now. Intergenerational solidarity has been one of the greatest resources of contemporary Irish society. Future generations, it is my belief, will look back at this critical time and I hope that they will be proud of how we as a society rose to the challenges together, with different generations taking account of one another. As President, I have such appreciation for, and deeply value the connection I have experienced with, young people around the country. I appeal to these young people to spread the word among their friends of the importance of that which we have been asked to do. In every generation there will be exceptions to what is being sought in the public interest. Let us hope that we have seen the end of such behaviour which puts all of us at risk. Many of the older people, of whose generation Sabina and I are a part, and to whom I have spoken, have been very appreciative of the large numbers of young people who are helping them, and that such assistance is offered in such a caring way that addresses issues of our older citizens that go far beyond the delivery of necessary groceries or food. Those older people who have been helped have felt a connection within society, a sense of a bond that is being strengthened rather than weakened. Older people as well as being grateful for how they have been helped have spoken of how they have welcomed the sight of young people who have given them such hope for the Ireland that is to come.”

Covid 19 - A message for students & families
Created : 19 Mar 2020, 6:41 PM

Dear Students and Families, “It is not what happens, but how you react to it that matters” This has been an extremely tough time for you and the unknown element makes it all the more difficult. While no one has a magic wand there are things that we all can do to make things better. I have spoken to you many times about leadership and the importance of standing up and being counted, about the need to be self-motivated and accountable. Never has it mattered more than in the present climate. It is how we collectively respond that will make all the difference. You can do this by keeping a structure and routine in your daily life. It won’t be easy but you know you are all doing it together for a greater purpose. Get up each morning and follow your school timetable to the best of your ability (teachers will be posting work regularly to help you) Take regular short breaks and continue to exercise, which is essential for your physical and mental wellbeing. This is not holiday time so it must be treated differently. I appreciate that complacency and boredom can overcome all of us at times and you may feel a need to meet up with your friends but again it’s essential that you follow the advice re social distancing. You are healthy young men and feel invincible but many in your homes or neighbourhoods are not so lucky. Please do what is asked of you in order to help them. Gentlemen, I look forward to meeting up with you all in the not too distant future to compliment and thank you for the wonderful effort you have all put in to beating this unprecedented situation/virus and allowing us all get back to enjoying a full free life. I appreciate you might feel a little overwhelmed at times and if you do please speak and support each other through phone and social media (I didn’t think I would be encouraging that!!) On that issue also please rely on information coming from reputable sources and not the nonsense that can come from certain groups on social media. Ann Marie Johnson our school counsellor has kindly offered her time from 11am to 1pm Monday to Friday if any of you feel the need to speak with her. You can contact her on 0851404264. Stay safe and please God we will be looking back on this period sooner rather than later. Best wishes, Ben Travers
