Clonkeen College’s Board of Management was allowed to join a High Court land sale case as a co-plaintiff, reported on 10 May 2018. The case concerns plans to sell seven acres of the school’s playing fields to a builder for €18m.

The congregation opposes the action, while the plaintiffs say the sale breaches a 2006 agreement protecting the fields’ availability. The congregation denies entering into the agreement as claimed. The judge adjourned the matter to June and said an application to strike out the case remained outstanding.
