From 6pm this evening, all universities, schools and creches are closed until at least 29th March. That's one week before schools are due to close for two weeks for Easter. I live and teach here in Ireland. As far as I can see, it's in line with a European request for all countries to do the same.
Why aren't they following suit in Britain does anyone know? Pardon my ignorance (not being from Britain) but is it something to do with not being part of the EU anymore? BoJo asserting his Independence?
