Enda Kenny (Mayo, Fine Gael)

He has made a lot of progress. The Minister said that parents could appeal decisions. No appeals system is in place because a section of the 2004 Act has not been commenced. Can I get a report from the Taoiseach on when the sections of the Act which have not been commenced will be commenced? When will the Act be effective? A total of 150 cases are backed up in the High Court. I was informed by a parent last week that he has spent €250,000 on furniture replacement and private education for his autistic child.
