The INTO representative for Kerry says the union has not heard of widespread absences in schools around the county.

It follows reports that up to 40% of pupils were staying home from school this week, due to concerns around the spread of COVID-19.

The Labour party has accused the Department of Education of not showing enough leadership, claiming schools need guidance to get through the pandemic.
