School asks pupils to bring own toilet roll | Oddly Enough | Reuters: "DUBLIN (Reuters) - Irish parents struggling to buy schoolbooks and uniforms in the face of a deep recession may now have to worry about sending their children to school with a toilet roll as well as a packed lunch.
Pupils at a primary school in the southern county of Cork are being asked to bring their own toilet paper to school to help save money, one of the starkest examples yet of the death of Ireland's 'Celtic Tiger' economy.
'The letter was sent out just as a way of balancing books here in the school and not intended as a demand,' said Catherine O'Neill, principal at St John's Girls National School.
O'Neill said the request was made because of cuts to government grants for books and computers. She added that parents were responding well."
