A Co Mayo primary school which closed over Covid-19 concerns will reopen today following instructions from the Department of Education.
Claremorris Boys National School told parents it would close its doors after a dozen pupils tested positive for Covid-19 since the school reopened after the mid-term break.
Now many of the parents in Claremorris are reluctant to send their children into the school today and are choosing to keep them at home. One of those parents is Catherine Walsh, who joined us on Breakfast followed by the schools principal, Mark Loftus.
