Over a third of children at Owenabue Educate Together National School were told to stay home on Monday morning
as there were no substitute teachers available.
When two of the four teachers called in sick the school were unable to get a substitute teacher and
12 of the 30 students in the school were told not to come in.
Principal Trina Golden took to Twitter just after 7am on Monday to try and recruit a substitute, with no luck.
Owenabue ETNS opened in September 2020, in Carrigaline and this is the first time the school have had to send students home.
