MERCY ORDER REINSTATES BOARD OF MANAGEMENT AT SEAMOUNT

Date Published: 28-Aug-2007

The Mercy Sisters at second-level Seamount College, Kinvara have been forced to reinstate a board of management.

Today’s Irish Independent reports that the Order agreed to the move on the eve of planned High Court proceedings initiated by the Association of Secondary Teacher of Ireland which claimed the Mercy sisters had acted illegally.

The nuns have been at the centre of controversy since last October when they announced without warning that the school would close in 2012
