Language school granted injunction over status on register

A Co Wicklow language school has been granted a temporary injunction stopping the National Qualifications Authority of Ireland from striking it off a register of language colleges.

Mr Justice Paul McDermott said that not to grant the interim restraint could have serious consequences for students in or on their way to Ireland on visas that could be deemed invalid if the school immediately lost official recognition.

Barrister Mary Jo Butler told the High Court that Jacqueline Sababou, of The Green, Woodbrook Glen, Bray, had traded since 2005 as Language and Business College Ireland at Quinsboro Rd, Bray.
