A SECONDARY school student faces a disciplinary hearing today for organising a protest over education cuts.
Supporters have launched a campaign on Facebook to prevent Shane Donnelly (17) from being expelled from Moyle Park College in Clondalkin, Dublin.
The Leaving Certificate student, who is a member of the Socialist Party, was one of the leaders of the walk-out from the college during school hours on Tuesday to the constituency office of local Fianna Fail TD John Curran.
He has been asked to stay away from school until a decision is taking following today's hearing. His parents are expected to attend.
A decision on expulsion would have to be approved by the board of management but could be appealed.
