Cork City’s northside has been hit by another shock childcare closure, leaving children suddenly with no care.

A statement sent by New Horizons preschool, based on St Mary's Rd, to parents whose children were enrolled to start this term said that due to circumstances beyond their control, they were closing "with immediate effect."
