Hi everyone

Simon here. I’m just back from the school to see what sort of conditions we’re heading back to in the morning.  Please ensure that you read the following messages to ensure your safety in the morning.

The main roads in Carlow Town seem to be in good condition right now.  The Shamrock Business Park estate is in reasonably good condition although you should drive very slowly and carefully as these is some black ice on the roads.  The pathways are not in great condition so perhaps try to avoid walking to school if possible.
