Community Living is Not Always the Answer: Jean O’Sullivan from Dromoughty has two sons with autism. She met Minister Finian McGrath on his recent visit to Kerry and outlined her fears about the future for her son Michael who will need residential care and believes that community living is not the answer.
A new committee has been formed with the aim of opening up St Mary of the Angel facility to new residents. The group’s been formed by family and friends of residents in the special needs facility in Beaufort. They want the Government to reverse its policy and open up the centre to new residents.
