Do you think it might have more to do with icy roads, frozen pipes, and the fact that half the schools in the land are made at least partly from temporary buildings and portakabins which may be slightly difficult to heat well in below freezing temperatures?
I totally agree with you on that one. Leinster and Munster are expected to be under snow by Monday so an early decision to close the schools was the best decision. But RMCF stated that kids are up to all sorts at home so why cant they go into school, and I said that they'd be up to the same in school too
