Co Kildare school still closed due to mystery illness

The school at the centre of a mystery illness remains closed today as 11 pupils continue to receive hospital treatment.

The CBS in Naas, Co Kildare, was closed last week after more than 20 students were hospitalised with sore throats and high temperatures.

School principal Noel Merrick said three more students were admitted to hospital with symptoms of the infection over the weekend.

The source of the illness is still unknown.
