I would appreciate that, and I thank the Minister of State for his response and his work on it. I recognise the incredible work that is being done for complex needs and the provision of spaces for children with an autism diagnosis. We see that in Nenagh and across north County Tipperary with the number of classes announced both at primary and secondary level. However, this is one area where we need to make sure the voices of those parents and children are heard. In this case, the parent is a strong and excellent voice to discuss this issue with, but I am conscious of other parents who might not be aware that class was there or did not know they could advocate for their children for it. I want to make sure I can also be a voice for them, so I will engage with the Minister of State and thank him for his time and assistance with it.
