School prefab’s roof blown 50m away

The overnight storm helped to underline a 500-pupil school’s case for a permanent building to replace prefabs.

The roof was blown off one of eight prefab classrooms at the CBS Primary School, Clounalour, Tralee, which the school board of management had been seeking to have replaced.

The roof was carried about 50m across the school grounds, smashed into trees and broke into pieces, some of which were blown across the road into a housing estate.
