There have been calls for online learning to be re-introduced.
A Dublin teacher said online teaching would be beneficial given the current situation.
Teacher Seamus Keane told Morning Ireland: "Teachers who can't come to school would be able to teach online."
"And students who can't come to school because they're sick, living with someone who's vulnerable or they're close contacts can also benefit from online teaching."
However, Minister for Education Norma Foley said in-person teaching remains the priority.
She confirmed that schools will re-open on January 6th.
"We know that children and young people are best served by in-person teaching and learning, and this remains a priority."
She said she is "conscious of the demands and challenges that this will bring for school communities".Explore more on these topics:
