This will prompt questions we can talk again about. The questions must be asked about the involvement of the HSE and the section 38 and section 39 organisations that would be supported. What was the involvement of private operators coming on board? I responded earlier to Deputy Sherlock and spoke about 29 cases being dealt with in the same period. There are questions to be asked.
The Senator spoke about issues affecting people with autism. I come from rural Galway and when a child goes into junior infants, he or she does not leave the school until sixth class is finished. It is a different sort of mechanism in Dublin, which I learned by meeting representatives of Involve Autism, and it is possible the Senator met those people as well.
