The crisis at the Marino teacher training college appears to have deepened as key staff members react angrily to an official report which has largely cleared the trustees of bullying and harassment.
One member of staff has resigned his post and a second is said to be considering his academic position after the report - commissioned by the trustees - cleared the college authorities of any serious wrongdoing.
The Farrell Grant Sparks report made this finding - despite the decision by the college authorities to settle a High Court action taken by the former head of the training college, Caoimhe Máirtín last year.
Ms Máirtín, who said she has been subjected to bullying, harassment and psychological abuse at the college, is thought to have received a settlement totalling €500,000.
The Christian brothers who operate the Marino Institute of Education insist that the report is an independent one.
They say the report cannot be published to protect legal confidentiality and because some of its contents are commercially sensitive.
The Irish National Teachers' Organisation has demanded publication of the report. It has also signalled its dismay with the report's main findings.
The report has certainly raised the temperature at Marino. This week, the chaplain Fr Liam MacRabhartaigh has resigned his post in protest at its findings.
One other resignation is said to be pending.
Ms Máirtín was head of Coláiste Mhuire, the teacher training college at the Marino campus.
A former head of teacher training at Carysfort College in Dublin, she is a hugely respected figure in education circles.
