Three young Derry school children who were refused admission to St Cecilia's College are to be admitted after they won their case at the High Court in Belfast.
The judge hearing the judicial review quashed the decision by an appeals tribunal, which upheld the children's rejection from the school, and said they should be admitted.
The judge criticised St Cecilia's College for not checking the addresses of applicants, when the school knew that an issue about false addresses did exist.
During the hearing lawyers for the girls' parents alleged that children living over the border in Co Donegal were admitted to the school because they furnished false addresses claiming they lived in Derry.
The court heard that it was a practice known as 'grannying'.
