A woman who failed her first year in a nursing degree course at Galway Mayo Institute of Technology (GMIT) has avoided being jailed after she agreed to obey a court order preventing her from attending lectures.
Anna Marie Flanagan, Kilmucklin, Tullamore, and Upton House, Clara Co Offaly, had started the nursing degree course offered by the college.
It was claimed she failed to pass her first-year examinations, and did not sit the repeats.
In the High Court yesterday, Ms Flanagan told Mr Justice Kevin Cross that she would comply with an injunction granted in 2011 preventing her from attending lectures, laboratory work or practicals given as part of the nursing degree course at GMIT’s campus, at Westport Road, Castlebar Co Mayo, until her suspension was lifted and the college readmitted her.
