Naas Secondary School remaining shut tomorrow due to 'health and safety'

The CBS secondary school in Naas has announced that it will remain closed for tomorrow.

Due to 'health and safety' the school will remain closed tomorrow, Monday March 5.

A Department of Education Statement earlier today said: "Where possible, schools, colleges of further ed & 3rd level institutions will re-open on Monday. However, decisions will be made by schools, colleges of further education and third level institutions on an individual basis depending on the circumstances in their area."

Many roads are still closed in rural parts of Co Kildare while housing estates are largely inaccessible by cars.

It will be cloudy overnight with further outbreaks of rain. Lowest temperatures generally in the range 0 to 3 degrees and frost in a few places only. Fog will form widely in the almost calm conditions.

Fog will be slow to lift for some parts tomorrow morning. Otherwise it will be cold again on Monday but temperatures will continue to show improvement with top values of 5 to 7 degrees. The day will be mostly dry except for some isolated showers. Snow-melt will continue to lead to an accumulation of surface water
