The Minister for Further and Higher Education Simon Harris said that students and staff would return to campus for the new academic year.
Harris was speaking on RTÉ’s Morning Ireland show declaring that the majority of returning students to be fully vaccinated, “and obviously staff generally being older than the students should also be overwhelmingly vaccinated”.
He said the college experience was bad for students and staff over the past year and for many it boiled down to “looking down a zoom camera in a box room or a corner of the kitchen table”.
He said that was over and added that we are bringing our students and staff back to college at the start of the academic year.
Harris said he would present a plan with the guidelines to cabinet in two weeks and said that campus libraries, bars and cafes will reopen in accordance with public health advice, as well as clubs and societies.
