Henry McKean saw the excitement at Holy Child Boys School Larkhill, as 4,000 schools across Ireland continue to reopen as 1 million students go back go school.
The Taoiseach has said there will be challenges along the way as country’s children return to school.
Speaking at Scoil Fiachra National School in Dublin, the Taoiseach Micheál Martin said the reopening will be “challenging” in the coming weeks.
“There will be lots of challenges along the way but we will learn along that journey,” he said.
“We will pick things up along the way, refine, improve and make sure that the safety of children and all who work in our school environment is uppermost.”
