Minister to get report on Carlow school uniform controversy

A full report on what happened at a secondary school in Carlow will be prepared for Education Minister Norma Foley after the school denied inappropriate comments were made regarding tight clothing.

Presentation College principal Ray Murray strongly denied that female students were told not to wear tight leggings to school as it was “distracting”.

Male students at the school were not spoken to about their PE uniforms as the issue “primarily was with the girls”, he said.

The school is annoyed and upset at the commentary on social media in recent days, which has been “scandalous” and “damaging to staff”, he added.

No such comments were made to students regarding wearing tight clothes, and staff are taking the brunt of unsubstantiated rumours, he claimed. “It's a disgrace.” 

The controversy was raised by Solidarity TD Mick Barry in the Dáil. Mr Barry said students were very upset and that they hoped their account of what happened would be listened to. Taoiseach Micheál Martin confirmed that a report is being prepared for the Education Minister.

The school did not respond to inquiries put to it by the Irish Examiner this week, instead directing the paper to a statement on its website .

This statement denies there had been a change in the school's uniform policy but does not address the allegations made in an online petition which has so far attracted more than 8,000 signatures.

Mr Murray told RTÉ’s Morning Ireland this morning that PE in the school had become a “fashion show”.

“On PE day, when students were coming in, particularly the girls, the uniform regulations weren’t being followed and it was becoming more of a fashion show, if you like, more than anything else,” said Mr Murray.

Girls were called out separately as the school is restricted in terms of space and as the school did not want to embarrass anybody. He has not received any complaints in terms of staff being uncomfortable, he added.

“The only thing mentioned was telling the students to make sure you have a proper uniform on you so that it doesn’t lead to any uncomfortable conversations in relation to your uniform.” 

Nothing "inappropriate, wrong, or uncomfortable" was said at the assemblies, he insisted.

CBC Past Pupils Union

In 1829 Catherine O’Neill of Skibbereen was the foundress of the Bandon Presentation Convent. Initially, she taught in her house in Hill Terrace. As pupil numbers grew, Catherine sought a site for a convent and school.

The Duke of Devonshire responded generously by giving her a five acre site at Coolfadda, on the North side of the river for a nominal sum. From 1829 until the present time, the work of Catholic Christian education has continued, influencing thousands of young people in the greater Bandon area. Primary education still flourishes on the original site, beside the Sisters’ residence.

In 1991, because of inadequate space on the site at Coolfadda, Colaiste na Toirbhirte, the Secondary section of the School, moved across the river to Ard Aoibhinn at Cloughmacsimon. At the time of purchase from the O’Kelly family, it was discovered that the current 12 acre site was once the property of Catherine O’Neill, foundress of the Bandon Presentation Convent!

Colaiste na Toirbhirte today is conscious of being in continuity with a great Presentation tradition. Foundation stones from the original 1865 building on the Northside now occupy pride of place beneath the central symbol of a Celtic Cross on the School’s street.

History was made in 2001 when the Presentation Sisters appointed the first lay Principal in the school, while they continued to act as Trustees of the school.

It is with a confident step that Presentation College, Bandon faces into the 21st century, secure in the knowledge that it always was, and will continue to be, in the forefront of secondary education in the country ..

Cork is the principal city of County Cork in southwest Ireland. It was already the second-largest city in Ireland when in 2019 its boundaries were extended, to have a population of 210,000. The new boundary includes the town of Blarney , but this is described on its own page; Cobh and Crosshaven downriver remained separate.

Understand [ edit ]

Corcaigh is an old word for "salt-marsh" - the River Lee broke up into a wetland delta draining into the drowned valley that forms its natural outer harbour. It was tidal and navigable, and Saint Fin Barre founded a monastery on its south bank in 606 AD, the nucleus of a settlement. The Vikings in the 9th / 10th centuries and the Anglo-Normans from the 12th were also attracted by this fertile area, and sought to claim the area as their own. It was under King Henry II that Cork was granted city status in 1185.

Medieval Cork was walled for defence and overcrowded, so several river channels became infilled, the basis of what is now St Patrick's Street, South Mall and Grand Parade. The main north and south channels persisted, enclosing the arrow-shaped island of the city centre. Cork's heyday was the 17th century, when sea trade was booming but ships had not yet outgrown the river - later the port moved downstream to Cobh . Prosperous suburbs such as Sunday's Well and Montenotte were built on higher ground on the north bank, while on the south bank a university campus grew up from the 19th century.

The Tourist Information Centre is at 125 St Patrick's St, corner of Lavitt's Quay one block west of the bus station.

Get in [ edit ]

By plane [ edit ].

To the city: Buses 225 / 226 run every 30 min between the airport, Parnell Place next to Cork bus station, and the main railway station, taking 25 min to the city. Bus 225 starts from Haulbowline navy base via Ringaskiddy cruiser terminal and Carrigaline, Bus 226 starts from Kinsale . In 2023 an adult single is €2.20 by cash and €2 by Leap card.

The taxi rank is outside Arrivals. A taxi to city centre might be €25 for up to four passengers.

Dublin Airport ( DUB  IATA ) may work out better, for its better range of flights and direct buses to Cork.

Shannon Airport ( SNN  IATA ) near Limerick is a good alternative for transatlantic flights. There's public transport to Cork but you'll be wanting a rental car.

By boat [ edit ]

In summer there are car ferries from Roscoff (15 hr) and Santander (26 hr) to Cork once or twice a week, operated by Brittany Ferries . They were suspended in 2020 and the timetable for 2021 has not been announced.

51.833 -8.322 2 Cork Ferry Terminal is at Ringaskiddy, 15 km south east of the city on N28. Bus 223 / 225 runs here, see Get around.

Cruise liners often visit: they may dock at Cobh or at Ringaskiddy, or land passengers by tender for excursions. Many are on round-trip itineraries, but check the upcoming cruise schedule in case a point-to-point journey is possible. For instance transatlantic one-way cruises from New York might let you off at Cork on their way to Southampton.

By train [ edit ]

Trains run hourly from Dublin Heuston, taking 2 hr 40 min to Cork via Kildare , Portlaoise , Ballybrophy, Thurles , Limerick Junction (for Tipperary ) and Mallow . A walk-up single is around €40, see Irish Rail website for timetables, fares and online tickets. From central Dublin, get a ticket from city centre not Heuston, as this includes the tram fare and saves a couple of euros over separate tickets.

From Limerick , change at Limerick Junction. Change there also coming from Waterford , via Carrick-on-Suir, Clonmel , Cahir and Tipperary .

From Tralee (via Killarney and Mallow ) a couple of trains are direct, but you normally change at Mallow onto the commuter train.

Commuter trains run from Cobh and from Midleton every 30 min. See Get Around for the suburban stations.

51.902 -8.459 3 Kent Station is the main station,on Lower Glanmire Road, 500 m east of city centre. There's just a coffee shop here but lots of facilities outside on the street, and be grateful that your train isn't going to be hauled by Engine No 36, the Victorian 2-2-2 loco in the main hall. For local buses take the south exit onto Horgan's Quay. The station is named for Thomas Kent or Tomás Ceannt (1865 – 1916), executed for his part in the Easter Rising. He and his three brothers actually stayed home, but when the police came to arrest known sympathisers there was a shoot-out which killed his brother Richard and a policeman.

By bus [ edit ]

Buses run hourly from Dublin Airport (3 hr 30 min) and Busáras (3 hr) to Cork, for a single adult fare of around €20. There's competition on the route between Aircoach (Bus 704X), Bus Éireann (Expressway X8) and Gobus .

City Link runs every 3 hours from Galway via Shannon Airport, Limerick , and Cork city centre and airport. The slower Bus Éireann 51 runs hourly from Galway via Ennis , Shannon Airport, Limerick and Mallow to Cork.

Expressway Bus 40 runs hourly from Rosslare harbour (for ferries from Wales and the Continent) via Wexford , New Ross , Waterford , Dungarvan and Youghal to Cork, where it takes a break then continues west to Macroom , Ballyvourney, Killarney , Farranfore (for Kerry Airport) and Tralee .

Bus Éireann 260 runs five times a day from Youghal to Cork; some of them start from Ardmore in County Waterford.

By car [ edit ]

From Dublin take M7 onto M8 and reckon 2 hr 30 min. There are tolls at Portlaoise and Fermoy, €1.90 at each, pay online or by phone. Avoid rush hour in Dublin or Cork if you can.

N20 from Limerick is mostly an undivided road and will take around 1 hr 45 min to Cork. Say an hour from Killarney and 90 min from Waterford.

From Cobh you could cross via 51.861 -8.326 5 Passage West Ferry onto R610.

Try to avoid bringing a car into city centre. If you're day-tripping, use the Park & Ride at Black Ash south side of the city - it's well signposted and cost €5 to park all day, with a free bus to and from the centre. The last outbound bus is at 20:00 and the park is locked at 20:30 so it's not for evening attractions. The University has its own Park & Ride and shuttle bus, but you need to show staff or student ID to use it.

Get around [ edit ]

On foot [ edit ]

Cork has a small city centre, and most places to stay, eat, drink and tour are within one busy km. So too are the transport hubs.

By bicycle [ edit ]

There are many cycleways, both in-street and segregated, with some contraflow lanes.

The bike share scheme has docking stations across the city centre extending west to UCC. You need to register and pay a deposit of €150. As of Nov 2020, an annual pass is €10 and a 3-day visitor pass is €3. The first 30 min of any journey is free.

Cycle shops offering bike hire are Cycle Scene and The Bike Shed . Kilgrews in city centre sell and repair but don't hire.

Irish Rail commuter trains serve three lines out of Cork Kent station:

• East then south every 30-60 min to Little Island, Glounthaune, Fota (for Wildlife Park), Carrigaloe, Rushbrooke and Cobh , taking 25 min, single fare €5.
• East every 30-60 min to Little Island, Glounthaune, Carrigtwohill and Midleton , for the Jameson Whiskey Distillery, 25 min, single fare €5.
• North hourly non-stop to Mallow , for the racecourse, 25 min. Many of these are inter-city trains to Dublin Heuston or Tralee, but you pay the same commuter fare of around €10 single.

Buses in Cork are run by Bus Éireann, with 22 routes , see map . Apart from three orbital routes that you're unlikely to use (201 north, 219 south and 225 further south), they all run cross-town, with central stops around St Patrick Street, Merchants Quay or Parnell Place main bus station. They run daily 06:30 - 23:30, every 10-20 min at peak times, except Bus 220 which runs 24 hours.

• Route 202 from Hollyhill and Knocknaheeney northwest to city centre then Blackrock and Mahon Point southeast.

• Route 220 runs 24 hours from Ovens and Ballincollig in the west to city centre then Douglas and Carrigaline southeast. Alternate buses continue to Crosshaven .

Most bus stops have real time displays. You can also plan your journey and check real time arrivals with the TFI website and apps. All buses are low-floor wheelchair accessible.

Cash fares within the city are €2.40-€2.80 adult and €1.40-€1.70 child, while if paying with a TFI Leap Card are €1.68-€1.96 adult and €0.98-€1.19 child. On TFI Leap Card, 24 hour, 7 day and monthly tickets are also available.

By taxi [ edit ]

Fares are nationally regulated and taxis must use the meter. As of March 2021, fares M-Sa 08:00 to 20:00 are €3.60 flagfall then €1.10-1.50 per km, 20:00 to 08:00 and Sunday €4.00 flagfall then €1.40-1.80 per km. In slow traffic or if asked to wait they charge by the minute, 40-50 cents. Fares are negotiable for longer out of town trips. Many drivers also offer fixed priced guided tours.

Taxis look like normal cars with a yellow bar with their licence number and "taxi" or "Tacsaí" printed on it. If the light is on, the taxi is available for hire.

See [ edit ]

• Red Abbey Tower is off Douglas St just east of Nano Nagle Place. It's one of the few medieval structures remaining in Cork, the bell tower of a 14th century Augustinian abbey: in 1690 John Churchill (later Duke of Marlborough) used its vantage point to blast away at the Jacobites below. The Augustinians moved out in the 18th century and the abbey became a sugar refinery, then in 1799 a fire destroyed everything except the tower. You can't go inside.
