As was reported in the Independent, the independent living skills courses has been withdrawn at St. Augustine's Sallynoggin, by the board of St. John of God's. I was under the impression that people were now being looked after in the community, instead of by the service providers under the new directions initiative being put in place by the HSE. Even more strange is the statement by the board which states that no one is to lose their job as a result but will be found other jobs within St. John of God's.
