No decision has been taken as of yet on extending the mid-term break in schools.
The Department of Education has said that no decision has been made at "this moment in time."
The Cabinet could shut the schools for an extra two weeks to give the country a three-week total lockdown, to get the COVID-19 virus back under control.
The Department have responded after the Irish Mirror reported on Thursday that the Government is considering extending the break by two weeks to curb the spread of Covid-19.
A spokesperson said: "No decision has been taken to extend schools’ mid-term breaks.
"To date the evidence demonstrates that schools have reopened safely supported by significant investment to support all infection prevention and control measures recommended by the public health authorities.
"At levels 1-4 inclusive, schools can remain open with protective measures, and at level 5, recommendations will be based on the situation and evidence at the time."
