Students walked into school this morning to find a room completely gutted and the neighbouring classroom cordoned off.

While principal Fintan Kelly was busy helping the fire fighters to investigate the cause of fire, a school spokesperson said that students from the two classrooms had been accommodated in other classes.

“Luckily it was a standalone building so the fire was contained. The cause of fire is undetermined as yet,” she said.
