    Check out local radio stations - some listed on website. RTE have greatly updated their website in the last few hours which is great to see. I reckon ALL schools should be closed, for the safety of the children, parents and teachers that travel to/from school.

    A website would have been a great idea, that schools to be closed can be listed. I suppose the RTE one is doing a fairly good job though :)

    I dread to think how much this cost schools to telephone or text individual students and staff.
    ONE central announcement instead of the usual fudging would have done it.


  • Registered Users Posts: 25,042 ✭✭✭✭My name is URL


    It's not a list, it's a link. This is a list:

    Reminds me of that Simpsons episode..

    if only I was young enough to be excited by a snow-day :(

    Maybe so, but it's a pain to have to scroll down. :P

    What, the DES actually make a decision???HA!!!!
    Many schools use a text-a-parent service, but it still costs.

    There was a text message send out and a request to tell other parents who live near by who may not have gotten one. Despite the school having a basic website and email and having emails of parents they didn't use it for messages which is daft in this day and age.

    Just guessing there are no salt trucks, sand trucks, or snow plows/graders/front loaders clearing the roads?

    I think they should deduct these days off from the next Summer holidays. :p

    From long experience of similar situations, there are lots of people who don't check their emails that regularly, even at times like this. And while it's tempting to say "well, that's their tough!" if a child ploughs their way through the snow to school, it's closed, and they get knocked down by a skidding car as they walk away from the gate, the school principal / admin will be publicly hung, drawn and quartered.


  • Registered Users Posts: 4,893 ✭✭✭Davidius


    When you don't care about these announcements you realise you miss school. Not so much missing school but missing knowing that I got the day off during school term. :pac:


  • Registered Users Posts: 2,583 ✭✭✭cloneslad


    great list but the rte guys inputting the information must not have been very good at geography, half the donegal list are sligo and roscommon schools, I didn't care to even read the rest of them!


  • Registered Users Posts: 827 ✭✭✭Cian92

    eh no you don't. Apparently "The board of management should make all reasonable efforts to make up these school days during the remainder of the same school year."

    Your school would be crazy to make up these extra days.

    Most of the schools in Dundalk are remaining open.

    I don't know why they are bothering. A lot of students won't turn up, the ones that do will probably do nothing as a lot of teachers won't turn up, and parents are risking the safety of themselves and their children by trying to get the students to school.

    The DES should stop all their shenaniganising and start making some decisions for once.

    Looks like my nieces and nephews school is going to open, I hope it snows more!

    I want them to experience the joys of a snow day.
    The red raw hands and sogging wet clothes and the epic snowball battles.
    Snowday dinners always taste amazing get you all riled up and ready for another go at the snow before it gets all grey and smushy.

    I know that but if I indicate that I want to be contacted via email then it should be used.

    No its not. they have to make "reasonable" efforts according to DES website. Which means management asks and is told to f*** off. Teacher unions anyone?

    Exactly, it's not fair! It's too much to ask for parents to drive their children to small primary schools which most of the time are just down the road. But for all the Dundalk students who come from long enough distances away (Cooley, Ardee, Monaghan, Drogheda etc) they have to drive to Dundalk anyway in the bad roads...Totally unacceptable!
