It follows yesterday's "threatening spam emails" sent to a number of schools
Kildare South and Labour TD Mark Wall remarked that it's "extremely worrying" to see bomb threats being issued to schools in the county.
Ardscoil na Tríonóide in Athy, St Patrick's in Celbridge, St Brigids in Kildare Town, St Conleth's National School in Derrinturn and Suncroft National School all received the threats.
Gardaí have confirmed that the emails were not credible, and that there was no need to evacuate schools as a result.
It's not yet known how many schools were impacted, but the Education Minister says Gardaí are dealing with a "large volume" of calls.
Similar messages were received by hundreds of schools in Northern Ireland and Scotland, and thousands more in Italy, where some schools were also evacuated.
The PSNI also says it's treating the emails as a hoax, and believes the risk to the public is low.
Speaking in the Dáil yesterday, Deputy Wall expressed his sympathy for those involved after initially learning of the threats:
"We can only imagine what those families went through this morning, thankfully it was a hoax, but in some areas, including my constituency of Kildare South, two schools were evacuated."
St Patrick's in Celbridge was also evacuated early yesterday morning.
The local TD also asked Taoiseach Micheál Martin what was being done to address these issues of hoax emails and threats.
In response, Taoiseach Martin mirrored the advice of Gardaí, who said that there was no credible threat, and therefore schools didn't need to be evacuated as a result.
However, he did urge any schools who receive the email or similar ones to contact 999, and that the Education Department has liaised with all schools affected.
Gardaí say investigations are continuing.
