Foreign Travel Advice
Reminder to anyone attending school who has travelled abroad:
Government policy, which is based on official public health advice, continues to advise against non-essential travel overseas for everyone.
It is a requirement for anyone coming into Ireland, from locations other than those with a rating of ‘normal precautions’ (“green”), to restrict their movements for 14 days, and this includes school staff, parents and children or other students coming from abroad to attend school in Ireland. Restricting your movements means staying indoors in one location and avoiding contact with other people and social situations as much as possible.
Key Message:If you have travelled to a location which is not on the ‘Green List’ you should not attend school for 14 days after your arrival back in Ireland.
Example
A family/person who arrives back in Ireland on Thursday August 27th from a location not on the ‘Green List’ SHOULD NOT ATTEND school until Friday September 11th.
