Thirty schoolchildren being treated after Youghal smoke bomb

Thirty pupils at a County Cork secondary school are being treated by medics after a smoke bomb went off in the building earlier this afternoon.

The HSE has said two ambulances, advance paramedics and two doctors responded to the call at Pobalscoil Na Tríonóide in Youghal shortly before 2pm.

The injured are all being treated at the scene, but it is not yet clear if any will require hospital treatment.

An investigation has been launched.
