As the fallout from the Traveller funeral in Carrick-on-Shannon yesterday continues, the effect on the community in the aftermath of such a large gathering over the course of two days and nights is now foremost in the minds of local people.
One consideration that has caused much anger and anxiety is the re-opening of the national schools to all children next week.
Principal of Scoil Mhuire in Carrick-on-Shannon, Caroline Healy, has sent a letter to the parents of the Traveller pupils who attend the school, firstly expressing sympathy with them on their loss, but secondly to remind them to take whatever precautions are necessary before their children return to school, and that includes quarantine precautions.
