VEC confident girls will be able to enrol in school
However, City of Cork Vocational Education Committee (VEC) chief executive Ted Owens said he is confident the go-ahead will be given for Nagle Community College in Mahon to open its gates as a mixed gender school when it reopens after the summer.
The VEC decided in late February to seek redesignation as a co-educational institution for the post-primary element of the college, which already has female students on its Post Leaving Certificate (PLC) courses.
