14 schools in NI, have contacted the authorities over concerns around a chemical stored in their laboratories @therealjesser

The PSNI has confirmed that in the last week alone 14 schools across Northern Ireland have contacted the authorities, over concerns around a chemical stored in their laboratories that could be dangerous. A rising number of schools here have also had to call in explosives disposal teams, and the police expect that to increase in the days ahead. Mervyn Jess has been to a school in Lurgan, which had to call in a specialist team earlier this week.
