News to make you smile, every single day.

Robbie O'Connell is principal at Blennerville National School in Tralee, Co Kerry and he thinks that children need to know that we all appreciate how much effort that they have put into navigating this new way of living. 

"I've watched them coming back to school and leaving their parents at the school gate," he said. "They line up for hand sanitising and hand washing multiple times a day, and they don't ever complain. They are getting on with it, and it has been heartwarming for us as a staff to see every day."
