Enrolment ban at school of music over funding concerns

FUNDING concerns have led to a temporary ban on the enrolment of new pupils at the €60 million Cork School of Music.

The school opened last year after a long campaign for government investment.

School management has been told by its bosses at Cork Institute of Technology that it is not to offer enrolment to any new part-time students for next autumn until a staffing review is completed in the coming weeks. The embargo also applies to places for existing students who wish to continue their courses in September.
