University College Cork will be opening the campus as normal today from 9am.

On Tuesday evening, UCC decided it would remain open despite advice from the Department of Further and Higher Education which said that “all further and higher education institutions that are currently or forecast to be in a Red or Orange weather warning area should remain closed tomorrow, December 8.”
