My Department was informed of the closure of this school by Quality and Qualifications Ireland on 2ndSeptember 2016.  This was a private English language school which was a member of Marketing English in Ireland (MEI) – an association of private English language schools inIreland.  MEI has protection for enrolled learner arrangements in place for its members and I understand that MEI has been accommodating students affected by the closure of this school.

Any affected students who are experiencing difficulties are advised to contact MEI directly.
