“It’s a golden ticket and this is how it’s going to work,” Foley said.
“All the students I know have been really, really good and have been working very, very hard since they went back to school at the end of August or start of September.”
Foley said that students must speak to their teacher and they can agree a date to use it in the run up to Christmas.
“The children and young people of Ireland have been just fantastic. Anything they’ve been asked to do they’ve done, they’ve been really good in school and we’re very very proud of them and this is a thank you.“
