I concur with Mr. Allen about Dublin Airport. I probably had a fear as a parent heading abroad with our young lad, but we found it to be a great experience to be quite honest. We knew the safety net was there, that staff were trained and that if there was an issue, it would be dealt with. That is a lot of it. I fully concur with that.

The IPI report mentioned Dublin City University, DCU, representatives from which appeared before the committee to discuss its autism-friendly university guide. We recognise that as good or best practice with regard to rolling it out across all universities.
