STUDENTS OF LEINSTER College language school in Dublin turned up for classes today to see a notice pinned on the door saying the school would be closed over the next two weeks.
The sudden closure has shocked both students and staff, with SIPTU stating that they are “concerned” for the employees.
The notice on both the door of the college as well as on their website states that the closure is “due to a weak financial situation”.
