Several schools in Donegal close temporarily after receiving a threatening email concerning an attack on school premises. Local outlets report Gardaí carry out checks and sweeps around affected schools, with some closures continuing into the day following the message.
RTE reports Gardaí are assessing both the contents and the credibility of the threatening email. Highland Radio adds that the correspondence is understood to have been received while schools were closed. Separately, the Irish Examiner says the Department of Education confirms some schools involved in industrial action received the email, describing the day as one of public sector strike.
Across the reports, the common focus is on immediate safety procedures and the investigation process. The Department of Education and Youth, as cited by Highland Radio, indicates schools can continue operating unless otherwise advised by Gardaí, while Gardaí continue assessing whether the threat is credible.
