TB information - A stony silence

AN outbreak of TB has been gathering pace in a Cork city national school since August.

It was confirmed this week that 48 individuals, 43 pupils and five staff, at Scoil Iósaf Naomha, in Ballintemple, have either full-blown TB or a latent, non-contagious TB.

This is a worrying situation for all involved, the children, the teachers and the community in general.
