Ms Bernie McNally:
I will ask Mr. Loftus to come in on that, but by way of introduction I will say that what happened there was regrettable for everybody - the children, the families and the local community. It is rare that such a dispute arises. In that case, we know the board of management had to make the hard decision to terminate the contract. That school was, and is, the subject of an ongoing dispute.
