Officials in my Department contacted the school on this matter who informed me that the decision to discontinue adult education was made due to a space and capacity issue and to allow the secondary school to focus on the needs of its secondary school students. The adult education programme was discontinued on a phased basis to ensure the least disruption as possible to learners.

Adult education courses are available throughout Corkfrom Level 1 through to Level 6 under the National Framework of Qualifications. Details of these courses can be obtained from Cork Education and Training Board or on .
