Joint Oireachtas Committee on Autism
Autism Policy: Discussion (Resumed)
Mr. Mark Darmody:
In theory, the Deputy could tell me tonight to keep my receipts. The State knows it is not a solution, but if it said, “You get the care if you can do it. We care about your child and we are sorry but the State cannot do it right now.” We could go and do it if we could and the State would pay for it. That would be just a start. If that could be done, it would be the first step on the ladder.
