08:27am Weather Conditions in Carlow -7, driving conditions are not good

08:33am Weather Conditions in Carlow -6.9, very Icy. Update from schools very poor. Tried calling some schools but nobody in to answer phones yet, not even answering machine to play a message to let parents know if the school is open or closed in many cases 

08:40am The disgraceful lack of communication from schools is putting the lives of kids and parents at risk as they travel to schools in this weather. An answering machine to play a simple message to assist parent or even a text is not that expensive.

Update in Carlow – Kilkenny Schools during the Snow

Getting information about to know if schools are open or closed is a complete nightmare in Carlow. Do we risk travelling in school in these dangerous conditions when we have no update from the schools?
The safety of our kids is been put at risk because of the lack of information available.
This issue facing many parents which is putting kids at risk is because in these dangerous conditions many are travelling to schools, and finding their school close. It is a disgrace to think that in this modern age schools do not even have an answering machine to play a simple message letting parents know the school is closed.
To try and help parent I am posting any updates on Carlow schools and Kilkenny schools on this blog.
