In 2010, teachers were told that Muslims would not be permitted to wear the niqab, the garment covering the entire body except for slits across the eyes. The guidance, circulated in Ireland by bishops among more than 450 schools, said that although staff should respect the religious rights of non-Catholics, it was "unsatisfactory for a teacher not to be able to see and engage properly with a pupil whose face was covered". Opponents of the ban argue that it religious expression is a basic human right and muslims should be able to wear the Niqa in every school. Proponents of the ban argue that the Niqab is a religious symbol that should not be worn at Catholic Schools.

I don't believe religion should be involved in schools in general but if the girls are comfortable doing so then they may wear them.

Not in catholic schools but yes in non-religions schools
