A private senior cycle and language school in Tralee has ceased trading with direct appeals being made to local TD and Education Minister Norma Foley to step into the situation.

Numbers are not clear but it is believed dozens of students from Tralee, Killarney and other parts of Kerry will now scramble to find a place in fifth and sixth year in other second-level schools.
