    Heard something there on the news, I think schools out tomorrow but check out the news, when I was a kid I used to remember at 8am listening to KCR waiting eagerly to hear if school was out.

    Edit: just found a list of confirmed closures, non in KK.

    I was listening to KCLR earlier (haven't done that in a good few years). All the primary schools are closed, and they listed out (all, I think?) the secondaries except for Kilkenny College.
