Children escape unhurt after ceiling collapses

The ceiling collapsed on 27 pupils and a teacher at St Nessan’s Primary School in Mungret, Co Limerick, at around 2.20pm.

“We were very lucky that nobody was injured. Both the teacher and the children were very shocked. Even though two of the children were hit by the falling plaster, they did not show any sign of any injury afterwards,” said teacher Gerry O’Sullivan, an INTO staff representative.
