The Irish College in Rome has seen the departure of all of its clergy staff according to this report:

When Msgr. Steenson was in training at the Irish College, a number of people thought it would become the location for training Pastoral Provision priests and then later priests of the Ordinariate.  It has been a venerable college, and I pray that it will receive new staff so that it continues.

There have been stories though online and in newspapers suggesting that the Irish Church will close the College in Rome and consolidate efforts at Maynooth.
