Go raibh maith agat, a Leas-Cheann Comhairle. Chun críoch a chur leis an méid a bhí le rá go dtí seo, I want to say that it is not good enough to support this motion. It requires action.

One of the actions in the motion is to set up a committee of the Houses to ensure delivery, which has not happened thus far. We are talking about Irish citizens. Irish citizens are supposed to enjoy their rights to the full. We have to enable every citizen to enjoy the benefits of citizenship. This is not happening for those who have autism, be they in school, the workplace or community. We have much further to go. I urge Members not only to support the motion fully but also to act on it.
