Public health teams have been brought in to a school in Dublin, which has sent 30 pupils home due to a Covid-19 case.
The Primary School in South Dublin sent an entire class home as a precaution, after one student tested positive for coronavirus.
The school says the decision is based on HSE advice, and the child didn't contract the virus in the school.

Education Minister Norma Foley says it's now in the hands of public health officials:
"Where there is an incident in a school, the guidelines are very clear.
"Where there is a confirmed case, public health takes over.
"They do all the contacting. I wouldn't place the burden on any principal."
