Dublin English language college closure leaves 235 to find new school

Up to 200 current and 35 prospective students are facing the prospect of finding an alternate school, and the potential loss of their course fees, after yet another English language college confirmed it would not re-open after the Easter break.

The Carlyle Institute on Dublin’s Grafton St posted a message online saying it “regretted to announce that due to adverse trading conditions we will be closing with immediate effect”.

“It was a privilege to work with so many talented staff and students and it’s our sincerest hope that everybody can be accommodated in this process,” it said in the announcement.
