Description

Under the €350m plan, we'll see 'bubbles' and 'pods' introduced, along with a number of other measures designed to allow children return to the classroom. In this week's podcast, we look at what the plan lays out. We also take a look at how Ireland's plan compares to other countries, like Denmark and Germany. Are we doing anything radically different? And what does the latest research tell us about children and Covid-19 risk?The Explainer's assistant producer and author of TheJournal.ie's coronavirus newsletter Nicky Ryan joins presenter Sinéad O'Carroll to explain more.
