Emergency services are currently on the site and no phones are being permitted on the grounds for safety reasons. No injuries have been reported and parents are being told that coats and school bags are to be collected tomorrow.
Cllr Casserly praised the school and emergency services for their fast action this morning. "I think a gas main was hit and there was an evacuation of the two schools, there was just a big bang."
"The evacuation and the response by both the school and emergency services was incredible. The children were brought out safely and quickly. Parents were notified instantly too."
Dublin Fire Brigade posted on social media to say "a gas main was struck near Esker Drive off the R120". Traffic restrictions in place, avoid if possible. One fire engine remains on scene.
