Joint Oireachtas Committee on Autism
Autism Policy: Discussion (Resumed)
Ms Aisling Byrne:
On the HSE issue, after the PTAs were deemed to be unlawful - it was one of our families that took that court case - DCA Warriors sent out a statement to most of the Ministers. We asked for a meeting with the Minister of State, Deputy Rabbitte, as well. It fell on deaf ears. We were completely ignored. Thankfully Deputy Tully managed to get a reply from the HSE but there were no concrete answers in it. We find that our voices often fall on deaf ears. We are not listened to. We are delighted to have been invited here today to have everyone's voices heard because it is really important.
