Gardaí and Tusla investigate allegations against school principal accused of inappropriate behaviour 

In a statement, a garda spokesperson told the Irish Examiner that they have 'commenced an investigation into a number of referrals received from Tusla concerning conduct at an educational establishment based in Dublin'.

A garda investigation has been launched after a secondary school principal was accused of inappropriate behaviour towards a number of children.

The school, which serves a disadvantaged community, cannot be named to protect the identity of the pupils involved. The Child and Family Agency Tusla has confirmed to the Irish Examiner that it is investigating the complaints.
