It's reported a primary school in County Clare has shut for at least a week because some staff members are considered close contacts of a case of Covid 19.
A second Dublin primary school confirmed a case of the virus yesterday and sent a number of pupils home, after another Dublin school sent an entire class home the previous day as a precaution.
Meanwhile, Labour TD Duncan Smith's hit out at the Education Minister Norma Foley, for failing to say when school transport services will be fully operational.
He says parents are worried their children won't be able to get to school over the coming months:
