More than 20 teachers have been told they will not be paid their salaries following the snap closure of a Dublin English-language school, a trade union has claimed. Grafton College did not open as expected on Monday leaving students and teachers in limbo in the lead up to Christmas. A meeting between management and teachers took place on Monday morning to discuss the abrupt closure of the school in Portobello. Unite said 23 teachers, of which many are union members, have been left unpaid and more than 500 international students have been affected. A message posted on the Grafton College Facebook page said teachers had been “overwhelmed” by the level of support from the students.
