Cork couple lose case over daughter's school attendance

A Cork couple has pledged to bring the battle to quash the conviction they received at a lower court arising out of their teenage daughter’s non-attendance at secondary school to the Supreme Court after they today lost before the Court of Appeal, writes Ann O'Loughlin.

The three-judge Court of Appeal dismissed the appeal of Dan and Maureen Arnold and affirmed an earlier High Court decision to refuse the Fermoy couple leave to legally challenge the orders and convictions made by the District Court over two years ago.
