Parents urge CIT to clarify cutbacks impact on music school

PARENTS of children attending the Cork School of Music (CSM) have called on college bosses to come clean about cutbacks and their impact on the landmark institution.

A new parents’ lobby group will stage a protest outside the Cork Institute of Technology (CIT)-managed school this morning to highlight the issue.

One spokesman for the group, John O’Callaghan, said parents want CIT’s governing body to meet them face-to-face and clarify exactly how CIT’s budget restraints will impact on CSM.
