School of Music row escalates as lecturers strike

ANGRY college lecturers took to the picket line yesterday over Government delays on the new €60 million building for Cork School of Music.

The school is part of the Cork Institute of Technology, whose 540 academic staff held a one-day strike over the issue yesterday.

The 2,500 full and part-time students of Cork School of Music have been using temporary and mostly inadequate facilities for more than 18 months.
