‹ Ceisteanna—Questions Oral Answers - Corporal Punishment in Schools. Insurance for after-school detention
Summary
Noonan asked whether national school pupils detained after school were insured. The Minister was unsure of the insurance arrangements, undertook to inquire, and confirmed he would check.
(Limerick-East): Do the Minister's Department allow the detention of national school children after school hours on the school premises as a punishment and do the Department cover such children by insurance?
Comment on this
I am not familiar with the details of insurance arrangements for schools. I will inquire into the matter. I assume that insurance does apply and I am aware that detention is used as a form of punishment.
