Part of Dublin school building to close after 'significant structural issues' found

A school in north county Dublin is to close down part of its building with immediate effect after "significant structural issues" were identified.

Update 5.45pm: All pupils, with the exception of Transition Year students, should attend a Dublin school as normal tomorrow, after it was forced to partially close due to structural issues in one of its buildings.

The decision to close Ardgillan Community College in Balbriggan was taken by management and the Department of Education on Friday, when a fire safety check highlighted the problem.
