SCHOOLS in Donegal will stay closed tomorrow as a result of the predicted inclement weather.
The Department of Education is advising that schools in counties where Status Red and Status Orange warnings are in place should not open.
“Remote teaching and learning should commence where possible, in line with schools’ remote teaching and learning plans,” said a spokesperson.

“All schools should keep up-to-date with the current weather warnings which are carried on all national and local news bulletins and in particular any change in the status warning for their area.”
A Status Red Alert has now been issued by Met Éireann relating to severe wind for counties:
• Cork
• Kerry
Status orange snow warnings have issued for counties:
• Donegal
• Mayo
• Sligo
• Leitrim
• Roscommon
“Met Éireann has advised that this is a multi-hazard event with wind and heavy snow. Storm Eunice will bring heavy sleet and snow leading to blizzard-like conditions in parts with treacherous driving conditions. The storm is expected to impact most during school commuting hours and this will make journeys to school extremely hazardous in the morning in those areas,” added the Department.
