Adjournment Matters. - Drug Abuse in Schools.

 

Difficulties arise regarding the action to be taken after the process of counselling and support if there is further drug taking and a student has to be expelled. Where does such a student go? I hope this will not happen, despite the fact that there are indications from various reports and media that there are problems in many schools in this regard. The original report highlighted that a random test would be introduced in a Dublin school for which there have been many calls. Likewise, there were questions on the other side of the argument asking if we were impinging on freedom and personal rights by going down that road.
