Joint Oireachtas Committee on Autism

Autism Policy: Discussion (Resumed)

Ms Catherine Cox:

As soon as we have the wording, which will probably be around the end of June, we will be much clearer in respect of that matter. In the context of Article 41.2, we certainly feel it will put a value on and recognise the work of family carers, which is really important. We believe it will build a foundation, hopefully for future legislation to enshrine the rights of carers, which is really important for us.
