All Schools Closed in Kerry Tomorrow & Friday
ALL schools and colleges in Kerry are to be closed on Thursday and Friday, the Department of Education has confirmed.
Officials have decided to close all schools and colleges in the Munster & Leinster for safety reasons as freezing conditions continue to grip Ireland.
The decision was announced after a meeting of the National Emergency Co-ordinating Group today.
Education Minister Richard Bruton minister came in for criticism from political opponents for not issuing advice to close schools earlier.
The schools forced to close by the severe weather conditions may have to make up the days later in the school year.
It could affect the Easter holidays, or any mini-breaks that a school had planned to take in coming months.
