SCHOOLS in Louth are set to re-open tomorrow (Wednesday, October 18) subject to any damage experienced during Storm Ophelia.
According to a statement issued by the Department of Education, “schools must ensure the safety of those in their care and give due consideration to this when making a decision to re-open”.
Local VTOS and Youthreach centres will also re-open from tomorrow and school transport will be back in operation.
Any non-State owned schools which require repairs are being advised to contact their insurance providers before contacting the Department regarding emergency funding.
