The Department of Education has said that schools including schools in Dublin should remain closed tomorrow in the areas categorised as Status Red and Status Orange for Storm Barra.
Met Éireann has advised that there is a strong possibility that the status of some counties currently in Status Orange are likely to change and escalate to Status Red.
These counties include Clare, Kerry and Cork & Limerick, Waterford, Galway, Mayo, Wexford, Dublin, Louth, Wicklow, Meath.
Due to the significant nature of Storm Barra and to give sufficient notice to schools and parents/guardians, the Department said it is advising that all schools covered by the Red Alert and Orange warning from Met Éireann should not open tomorrow.
