A student suspended by a Dublin private school over allegedly selling €20 of cannabis to a fellow student has taken a High Court challenge over a planned disciplinary hearing. It is claimed the boy’s mother contacted the school late last year expressing concerns her son may have been smoking cannabis. In a further contact, she told the school her son had admitted sourcing cannabis online through Instagram. Days later, the school informed the parents it had received an allegation their son had supplied another student with cannabis. These included having smoked cannabis on weekends outside school and in woods near the school and having conversations with fellow students about smoking cannabis.
