It could be "close to Easter" before most children return to in-classroom learning as the Government prepares to make a decision on an extended lockdown.
The Irish Times today quotes a Government source as saying that "most children will not be back in school next month and may not return to the classroom until close to Easter."

Cabinet is due to meet on Tuesday to discuss extending Level 5 restrictions which are due to expire on January 31.
