Gardaí investigating after ambulances called for students at Cork school who became ill

Gardaí in Co Cork are investigating after ambulance crews were called to a school earlier this week when several students became ill.

At 10am on Wednesday, gardaí received a report that four male teenagers had taken ill at a school in Fermoy. The youths were assessed by ambulance crews who attended at the school.

The boys at the school were described as having been quite ill but they did not require any further medical treatment or hospitalisation.

Garda enquiries led to a number of searches being carried at a commercial shop and homes in the Fermoy area yesterday where items of potentially evidential value were seized. These included vapes and e-cigarettes, which have been sent to Forensic Science Ireland for analysis.
