A private school in south Dublin has begun a review into allegations from past and current pupils. St Columba’s College, a boarding and day school for Irish and international students, has received the complaints in the past week. The school, in Whitechurch, Dublin 16, has issued a statement confirming steps were being taken to investigate allegations of racism from a number of former students and current pupils. “On Sunday, May 31st, St Columba’s College was contacted by a former pupil of the College, who bravely shared with us her experiences of racism while attending the school,” said warden of St Columba’s College Mark Boobbyer. The school is situated on a 140-acre campus at Kilmashogue Lane in the foothills of the Dublin Mountains, overlooking Dublin Bay.
