Bomb threats made to local schools
Gardaí investigated the bomb threat.
A secondary school and a primary school in the region received a bomb threat via email earlier today, the Roscommon Herald understands.
No students are attending the schools today due to the ongoing public sector strike, but a number of teachers are picketing at the premises in question.
Gardaí investigated the scene at the secondary school, but no evidence to support the threat was found.
According to one teacher at the scene, over 120 schools nationally were included in the email list for the bomb threat.
An ASTI spokesperson confirmed that as of lunchtime today, the union was not aware of the threats.
