Jan O'Sullivan (Limerick East, Labour)

John Hanna, a former principal of St. Augustine's school in Limerick, is a member of the task force. St. Augustine's is a youth project which does excellent work for young people for whom regular school is not appropriate because they failed to have a positive and nurturing experience. Alternative provision is needed for certain young people but it should not be imposed on them after they have been perceived as a problem and thrown out of other schools.
