Cork primary schools threatened by group opposed to Covid-19 guidelines

Teachers who received the letters spoke off the record as they are concerned that protests could occur outside their schools if they identified themselves.

Primary school principals and boards of management have been threatened for a second time with having their assets seized from them for complying with public health guidelines in schools.

The letters have been received by principals across Cork City and county from a group styling itself the Common Law Court Éire which opposes measures including social distancing, mask-wearing and Covid vaccines. The letters cite two addresses – one in Cork City and another in the county.
