No, all three are at home.

The three of them go to school in Tullow.

One is at primary school, the other two are at Creche.

But I got a message from the primary school this morning at 9 o'clock and I decided not to send the other two into Creche then just to keep them all together.

Well, the one from Horace School said that due to precautions they were keeping

the school closed today but that was at 9 o'clock this morning and there was already kids at the school gone in because they opened the gates at 10 to 9 so they were already gone in and the parents were left like and they had to be called back to come and collect their kids but luckily I was having a crazy morning I hadn't went in yet So when you got that email did it elaborate at all on why the school was closing or just that it was going to close?

No, earlier this morning at half eight, I got a message, it was a mix-up, thinking it was my daughter's school that was closed and had received an email, but I realised it was a different school in Carlow.

And then I was like, well, is my daughter's school going to be closed or what's happening here?

I was actually thinking, will I just keep her at home?

And then nine o'clock this morning, I got the message from her school, so...

That was how it came about this morning.

Yeah, so this morning when I got the message, I was worried, like thinking, is it a threat of, like, hacking their data or is it a physical threat to, like...

the school and the pupils or what like.

So a lot of confusion and then your mind is just unravelling what could the threat be like.

Yeah, well, my friend rang me this morning panicking and she didn't want to leave her house with the kids today because she was like, oh, well, if I bring them to a park or whatever, it's public.

Like, you know, is it the threat on the kids or the buildings or what's the threat like?

So she was just panicking this morning as well.

And so my older one is between six and ten.

So she was like, it's not a holiday.

It's why am I at home like?
