dc.description.abstractThe impact of the Covid-19 pandemic was quickly felt in Ireland once cases began to be identified and rise in early 2020. While the impact on health services continues to be widely documented and researched, the effects on the education system received less attention initially. The priority in the early stages of the pandemic was to try to ensure that hospitals were not overwhelmed. School closures were one strategy used by the Irish Government to contain the spread of the virus. While the primary function of this move was to protect the health of both the school and general population, its impact on all aspects of school lives has become a focus for researchers. This chapter will outline the rationale, methodology and findings of a small-scale research project on staff wellbeing with school principals and teachers at primary level. Related literature will be outlined and key concepts defined. While the pandemic has abated, with restrictions lifted at the time of the writing of this chapter, its legacy will live on in schools for better or worse. This will be tentatively explored in the final section.en
