It's not right making young kids wear masks they need to see expressions on each others faces and with masks that won't happen.

It's disgraceful that the Gov are even thinking about masking our young children.
Absolutely no way will a child of mine wear something that will obstruct their breathing
Thx you for creating this petition

To put masks on poor, young, vulnerable, innocent children for 5 1/2 hours a day is absolute cruelty, for a "deadly virus" that has a 99.7% survival rate!!! Shame on any teacher who promotes this

Our airways shouldn't be covered we build immunity by exposure strengthen not weakening and supression. Also masks effect many areas of a child's development even babies looking at people masked is doing damage we shall see in the future. Testing health people to see are they well is horrific and going down a very dangerous road. We know when we are unwell and we stay home like we have done until March 2020.

I am Signing because I find it nothing shortof abusive to inflict masks on children who are already traumatised from the year and a half of dehumanisation and over sanitisation. Nothing humane or normal about this and considering children are least at risk of serious infection and mortality I find it disturbing that it’s being even entertained. Serious questions must be asked as to why this is being proposed at all but one thing is for sure this is not a health measure nor is it for the welfare and protection of our children.

The INTO is supposed to represent its members. As a member, I have never received any correspondence, or been consulted in any way regarding Covid19, yet statements are being made publicly with claims about what members are calling for in schools.

The mass vaccination program has failed, time to live with it and to eradicate those unjust vaccine passports which cause nothing only discrimination and Segregation of our good country people. Time to stop with the madness.

My children need to breath and see facial expressions. It is physiologically and neurologically imperative.

Aoife Murray (Wicklow , 2021-11-21)

Masks are useless in preventing covid. Their use is a throwback to a medievel mentality. They damage our human relations. I will refuse to work in this kind of environment

Im a concerned parent

This madness has to stop. If schools are “safe” as the Minister is claiming why do children need masks? If they are not safe why are teachers / children not isolating when identified as close contacts? Decisions have to make sense as everyone decision has an impact on children and teachers’ emotional and mental well being as well as their physical obviously!

INTO has no right to speak for teachers without consultation first. INTO does not represent the views of its members. Mask wearing by children has never been proven to have any beneficial effect. There are NO studies that suppirt this. Mask wearing have an extremely negative effect on mental health, enjoyment of school and ability to breath properly! No children want to wear them. I can submit yiu a poll of my class if you like. 100% against!

There is no scientific basis for covering a child's face. Fact.

Julie Brady (Galway, 2021-11-22)

#255

The real science proves that masks do little to prevent any viral spread. Children are not very susceptible to the alleged Covid virus. People without symptoms are unlikely to spread a virus. Hundreds of studies prove that masks are a breeding ground for moulds and bacteria hence are harmful to health. Masks are very psychologically harmful as they block facial expression and create a communication barrier that will cause permanent psychological damage to the children.

Shaun Walton (Skibbereen, 2021-11-22)

There is no founded risk and assessment for the use of masks for children in any setting they have an immune system that out ways any other system and to make children wear these masks is a form of child abuse and will be taken as such

Sharon Geoghegan (Meath, 2021-11-22)

This measure is damaging to children's mental health, not to mention a hindrance to their main way of learning - reading facial expressions etc

Nikki Fallon (Galway, 2021-11-22)

#261

It is very unhealthy for children to wear masks and a very minimal incidence of children contracting COVID 19 and it is difficult for children to interact with each other with a mask on.

Rhonda Blatchford (Raymond Terrace , 2021-11-22)

My children will be directly affected by these measures which will do more harm than good

Children should not wear masks in school they block their oxygen intake, are very unhealthy and they won't stop transmition of the virus

Majella Gaffney (Boyle, 2021-11-22)

I'm signing because I don't believe children should be subjected to wearing masks in school, further more there are children like mine who have breathing difficulties and I will refuse to put my children's lives at risk of being in ICU or worse, dead! #nomasks

Lisamarie Pearce (Dublin , 2021-11-22)

#284

I am signing this because I am adamant that my 9 year old will not be wearing a mask to school. I don’t believe for one moment that this would be of any benefit to my child or her class and it’s just bullying by adults who should have more sense. I will not put my child through that.

Maeve Ayo (Gort, 2021-11-23)

I strongly object to my 5 year old being MADE wear a mask all day!

Masking anyone is a form of abuse

Louise Lawlor (Dublin, 2021-11-26)

#306

Children need to be able to see facial expressions, teachers surely know this so for that one reason alone kids of any age should not be wearing them.

Hazel Hall (Kells, 2021-11-27)

#309

I'm signing because I feel that school should be a place where children feel safe and normal. Masking and testing children is abuse!

THEY DON'T WORK

Nicola Edghill (Christchurch, 2021-11-29)

#312

I think it is of no benefit to anyone.
Children need to be able to see faces to sit I the classroom and to try and learn. Masks would deter this hugely . Have they not suffered enough?
They need to see each others faces to learn emotional literacy.
Enough of this madness.

Fiona Cotter (Lucan, 2021-11-29)

I’m signing because there is NOT ONE shred of peer reviewed scientific evidence that exists- done in the last 40 years- that demonstrates that masks are:
1. Safe. Masks cause: Hypoxia, Hypercapnia, headaches, drowsiness, increased acidity in bodily tissues, and forcing kids to ingest and re-ingest their own bacteria, and thus, coughing and respiratory symptoms.

2. Effective: There is no evidence to support the concept that masks prevent the spread of any virus. Except some very shady very recent unqualified spoutings from pseudo-science expert extraordinaire, and paid-up Pharma-phile, Luke O’Neill.

3. There is NO risk assessment completed to demonstrate the long term effects of the followings for children:
Communication skills- children grow and develop with their peers by reading facial cues, their listening skills are enhanced by visual cues of the speakers face: smiling, frowning, and all nuances in-between. It is a catastrophe for young developing minds to be shielded from the part of the face that communicates.
4. Because the vaccines for the adults did not work. They do not prevent infection or transmission between vaccinated people. So Vaccine certs are also useless.
And we KNOW, that this is occurring at the same time as Government have started the roll-out of Vaccines for 5-11 year olds.
Masks are a pre-cursor to a vaccine. Masks are a permanent reminder that we are “supposed” to be fearful. A vaccine that comes from billionaires that have NO liability and NO accountability.

5. Because finally: there is no significant data or peer reviewed scientific evidence that demonstrates ‘Asymptomatic transmission’...I.e. that perfectly healthy people are harbouring and spreading a killer virus.

I think this is going to have a serious long term effect on our children and is not ok

Coco Reynolds (Greystones , 2021-12-02)

Mask wearing should be optional for children.

Wendy Dowling (Hastings , 2022-01-26)
