Cork schools evacuated after fresh wave of emailed bomb threats
Schools in Cork city are also understood to have received emails.
Some schools across Cork were evacuated this morning after receiving another wave of emailed bomb threats.
A threatening email warning that a bomb was hidden in a plastic bag in a school was sent to numerous schools, it is understood.
Gardaí told schools in Cork that the email was a hoax, and students who had been evacuated were subsequently allowed to return to their classrooms.
In one case, Star of the Sea Primary School in Passage West sent a message to parents saying it had received "a threatening email this morning".
"We have evacuated the building and are checking the building for a suspicious 'plastic bag' (as per email). We are in the process of alerting the emergency services," the message said.
Schools in Cork city are also understood to have received emails.
The latest threats come after a number of bomb scares involving planes, media organisations and schools in recent days.
