A school in Co Cavan has been forced to shut for nearly two weeks as a result of a Covid-19 outbreak.
A number of infections were confirmed at the primary school in the west of the county.
A letter was sent to parents and guardians on Thursday confirming that an outbreak of coronavirus had been identified in the school.
And as a result classes will not resume there until Monday, June 14.
However school officials claimed that this could change depending on whether new cases were discovered during testing.
The notice reads: "Following a risk assessment by the Department of Public Health, it has been decided that the school will need to close until Monday 14th June.
"This date may be subject to change depending on the results of ongoing testing.
"All current cases and their close contacts have been notified as asked to isolate accordingly."
It comes after a Drogheda primary school was also forced to closed due to an outbreak.
It is understood that two teachers and 12 students were diagnosed with the virus at St Joseph's Boys CBS primary.
As soon as the virus was discovered public health doctors were called in and gave the order to close.
All the children were tested and 12 were believed to have it.
The school is due to re-open again next Tuesday provided Public Health Officials give it the go-ahead.
In a letter to parents after a risk assessment Dr Sean Denyer confirmed the outbreak and advised all children and staff to be tested.
