Carlow College is set to close down over the course of the next two years.

The announcement was made today and will see the college's land and buildings transferred to SETU.

All students who are currently enrolled will be able to complete their studies, but no new student intakes will be offered from September 2026.

In a statement, Carlow College says there will be a phased redundancy process for the 87 staff currently employed there, adding that "an agreed framework has been put in place, in consultation with South East Technological University, to support a structured programme completion period for current students and to enable an orderly and managed transition for the College".
