Some schools set for shortened Christmas holidays
Schools may open early after Christmas, because of days missed as a result of the arctic weather, the Department of Education said today.
Department officials say they have contacted school management bodies in relation to the options for making up for lost time.
However, in a statement from the Department, it admits that this would require an adjustment to the standardised school year.
The Irish Primary Principals Network claims the days missed may never be made up.
