Read the original article on standard.co.uk (opens in a new tab)The Evening Standard reports a threatening email sent to hundreds of schools in Northern Ireland, which it understands reached more than 300. It attributes the assessments to the police, the Education Authority, the Department of Education, the Garda and an MLA, and it tells readers no credible threat had been found. The education minister's description of last month's hoax as "Islamist" appears only as his quoted word, tied to that earlier occasion.
“it had been advised there was no credible threat and that the school would stay open following a check of the premises”
The Standard gives parents the practical assessment from a school message it has seen. This tempers the alarm of the headline without dismissing the threat.
“An Garda Síochána assess this threat as not credible and is not advising any educational establishment to evacuate”
The Standard quotes the Garda's credibility assessment directly and attributes it, so readers know who judged the threat and what they concluded.
“closed following a hoax bomb threat”
The Standard states plainly that last month's threat was a hoax, so readers have the earlier outcome before they meet the minister's quoted description of it.
