Two leaving cert students allowed back after school expulsion

By Fionn Kelly

This report is a localnews.ie summary based on public court reporting and records; sources are listed below.

Two unnamed Leaving Certificate students secured High Court injunctions allowing them to return to school, while the Court of Appeal listed the board’s appeal on 14 December 2018. The students had been expelled after filming and posting a video of a classmate snorting sugar described as white powder during a class. The appeal was listed for hearing on 28 March, with the students’ Section 29 appeals still pending. The High Court injunctions remain subject to the full judicial review proceedings, which were due to return before that court.

This case may have concluded differently. The outcome has not yet been confirmed by a public source we could find.
