A class has been sent home after multiple Covid-19 cases were confirmed at an Irish school.
Several students attending Pobalscoil Ghaoth Dobhair in Co Donegal have tested positive for the virus.
Pupils in second, fifth and sixth year were affected.
An urgent letter sent to parents and guardians confirmed that second year students would be sent home and move to online learning immediately.
It is not yet known when they will be able to return to school.
While a number of students in fifth and sixth year who were close contacts of the confirmed cases will also be self-isolating.
The notice reads: "Three (3) cases of COVID-19 have been certified by the Health Service Executive (HSE) among community school students. Second, fifth and sixth year students.
"Due to the COVID-19 restrictions and guidelines, second year students at home will be learning online from tomorrow onwards. A return to school date has yet to be set and you will be notified of this date in due course.
"Fifth and sixth year students, apart from the six in the two years who are close contacts and have a duty to self-isolation, will be in school tomorrow as usual."
It comes after dozens of students were asked to stay home after a Covid-19 case was confirmed at a secondary school in Co Galway over the weekend.
School officials said that a pupil in Transition Year had contracted coronavirus, and that all students in the year group would be asked to stay home today.
An urgent letter sent to parents and guardians on Sunday said that any close contacts that are required to self-isolate will be informed on Monday.
The notice reads: "We have one confirmed asymptomatic case of Covid in the last 1/2 hours from the HSE in TY.
"We are asking all TYs to stay at home tomorrow so we can plan accordingly, we will let those who must remain home for two weeks know early tomorrow."
