School praised for swift action over fighting students

The National Parents’ Council has commended the swift action of a school authority in disciplining girls involved in a fight which was recorded and posted on the internet.

Council spokeswoman Jackie O’Callaghan said the speedy actions of the Cork secondary school should be commended after three pupils were suspended and another was given two weeks’ detention.

Up to 50 pupils stood and watched two girls from Christ King Secondary School in Turners Cross take part in an organised fight at a park in Douglas.
