Thanks to one of our parents for sending on this link.

After serious consideration re the imminent arrival of storm Ophelia and for the safety and wellbeing of our children and staff we have taken the unprecented step of making a decision to close our service tomorrow(Mon). The decision is based on the recommendation of the Dept of Children and Youth Affairs We have also had to give consideration to the extent of our insurance cover given the status Red Warning. We apologise for any inconvenience this may cause but we hope that our parents will fully understand. The decision has not been taken lightly and is a health and safety decision. We encourage our parents to stay safe and keep in touch with weather alerts.
