This morning.
Via RTÉ News:
RTÉ is planning to broadcast an hour of ‘school on TV’ to support children and their parents at home.
It is part of a cross-platform teaching initiative that is being pulled together by RTÉ at short notice with the support of the Department of Education.
It is hoped that the one-hour programme will begin on Monday 30 March. It will run from 11am to 12pm, Monday to Friday on RTÉ2, with a shorter “catch-up” segment later in the afternoon. It will be aimed particularly at children in 1st to 6th class.

Ah Telefís Scoile…I remember it well.
Begins Monday 30th…
Is this a confirmation then that the March 29th ‘end date’ to the current status has been scrapped, and it is as all* expected going to be a date well past Easter before any normalcy is resumed… Hmmmm…
Or was there already an announcement I missed ?
(*that I’ve discussed it with anyway.)
First thing I noted too. I heard an opinion piece on the radio that the interregnum could last well past the Easter holidays.
Shur haven’t I been telling ye
They’ll be out till 1st September, betcha
they’ll bring the leaving certs back after Easter, under special conditions and layouts in schools
the best thing to do with the Inter Certs (yeah I know, stubbornly old school me) is park it to September
when in normal circumstances they’re taking the p155 out of Transition Year anyway
I reckon some Gaelteach Courses and Bean an Tí lodging will get the go ahead, but I’d say every place will be gone within an hour
And priced up to make up for the reduced head count
The link is broken now.
I wonder if they pulled it because it pretty much confirms the extension.
1st to 6th primary or secondary?
1st to 6th class. Not 1st to 6th year.
School
The Angelus
Catch Up School
Murder She Wrote
WHAT!? No Countdown!?
Bring back Blockbusters!
I remember watching Stop, Look, Listen and Picture Box on school telly in the 70’s. Class stuff.
Speaking of school…. this is staggering even by the standards of the numpties that play and watch school’s rugby:

1 hour a day is hardly Open University.
It’s not even University of Limerick…
1st to 6th class isn’t exactly university level.
