Cork City schools update

nacl

The City Manager says schools with no water should not open on Monday. This will mean major problems for parents and children for up to a week or more so planning alternative arrangements should start asap.

Does anyone know which schools have no water?

Cork City Council

Civic Emergency – update

The following is the current information resulting from the recent flooding as at 4pm on Saturday, 21st November 2009.

Water Supplies
Areas supplied by Lee Road Waterworks continue to experience supply disruption. Cork City Council Engineers have been working on the network to maximise delivery and have succeeded in stabilising supply to the Central Island and lower Blackpool, enabling businesses and shops to continue trading in these areas.

Ms. Moran was in school telling the 6th years in for study that that was the case and let your friend know

Hogzy

If CBC are opening then im sure Scoil Mhuire and the others on the hill will be doing the same.

Unless CBC have some magical supply of water hidden somewhere!

I heard the same story myself but wonder the same as Hogzy if Christians are open why not Scoil Mhuire?? A texting service would be a huge advantage for the parents - its in place in our local national school and makes life a lot easier!!:D

I wouldn't be surprised! I expect they have built a giant tank on the roof togather rain water or something crazy like that! Damn them and their openness -.- anyone want to pretend to be the head of the HSE and tell them to close? :P

Pity they don't update their answering machine - just getting a message saying the mailbox is full - pls dial 0 for the operator which I do, then getting a ringing tone - the system seems to be in a continuous loop!!
