Parents back principal facing suspension

PARENTS of students at a controversial school have backed the principal who is facing the threat of suspension.

Co Kilkenny Vocational Education Committee has asked Education Minister Mary Hanafin to suspend Cathy McSorley because of what they have called her unsatisfactory performance as head of Kilkenny City Vocational School.

An independent report given to the VEC last January confirmed reports students were being paid by an unknown source to attend.
