A CO Tipperary secondary school has welcomed a court judgment overturning an Equality Tribunal ruling that it had indirectly discriminated against a Traveller in its admission policy when it refused the boy a place at the school.
The board of management at CBS High School in Clonmel welcomed the decision by Judge Thomas Teehan to set aside a ruling by the tribunal in a case taken against the school by Mary Stokes on behalf of her son, John (13).
