THE HIGH COURT has appointed a liquidator to The Carlyle Institute Limited.
The company had been operating a language school on Dublin’s Grafton Street until the start of this month, when it unexpectedly closed its doors.
Students had been off on their Easter break when the school announced that it would not be reopening due to “adverse trading conditions”.
The school was thought to have had around 220 students on its books when it closed. These were spread across English and businesses classes.
In addition to this the school was thought to have had a further 100 students who had paid up for courses in advance.
The cost of the year-long courses was reported to be around €1,500 and most of the school’s students came from outside of the EU.
What’s happening now?
Declan de Lacy of PKF O’Connor Leddy & Holmes has been appointed as provisional liquidator to the company.
This follows an application by Taiwanese student Ching-Hsiu Huang who paid the school the sum of €1,500 in fees in the month before they closed their doors.
The company had been set to hold a meeting tomorrow to appoint a liquidator but Ching-Hsiu’s action has pre-empted this.
Her application was accepted today by Justice Gilligan.
An affidavit submitted to the High Court today by Dave Moore, the programme and communications officer with the Irish Council for International Students (ICOS), gives details of emails between Carlyle students and the ICOS.
A number of students stated that they did not receive communications from the Carlyle Institute to inform them of its closure.
Closures
The closure of the Carlyle Institute is the thirteenth language school to have shut its doors in the past 12 months.
The spate of language school closures began in April last year with the closure of Kavanagh College where 70 international students had been enrolled.

Dublin City Council, you guys need this. Pronto.
Dublin city council, Needs public Toilets pronto
Exactly Francis. No point giving out about public urination if there are no public toilets available at 1 am when all the pubs close.
Too many junkies in Dublin to have any public toilets.
What you want is for the lamp post to collect the piss and spray it back out a bit higher over the perp’s head. And let out a little chuckle….
Jeepers. That might piss off a few people!
We need that in Dublin ASAP the amount of dirty drunk men who urinate on the streets is unbelievable…I would love to see a judge get them to wash the streets for punishment.
That’s right Denise, it won’t work for the dirty drunken women who urinate on the street as they ‘hover’.
Very true John. I’ve seen plenty of young ladies hunker down and let go after a busy nights drinking.

Can I have that paint for school toilets so kids can learn to aim correctly not on the walls, seat, floor. Can you paint it on the seat & floor???? I hope there are parents reading this article & teach your kids how to aim correctly.

Dublin City could do with this. Mind you we will now have to send a minister on a jaunt to see how it works.
No, the council could do with opening some public toilets.
