Wilson's Hospital School, Multyfarnham, Co Westmeath, was incorrectly included in yesterday's list of schools with no pupils on Wednesday. In fact, as the custom is that non-teaching staff provide supervision outside class hours, classes took place as normal. And in Moate Community School, classes for third and sixth years were held.

Where errors occur it is the policy of The Irish Times to correct or clarify as soon as practicable.
