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.
