Seán Crowe (Dublin South West, Sinn Fein) | Oireachtas source

As the Taoiseach knows, the House debated autism last night. I am raising this matter in the context of the Education (Admission to Schools) Act 2018, which was agreed in December. It is estimated that one in 65 people is on the autism spectrum. There are 11 primary schools in my constituency that make provision for children with autism. No primary schools in my constituency make such provision. Just 18 secondary schools in the whole of Dublin cater for children on the autism spectrum. When will we start to see secondary schools or other schools being established throughout the country under the 2018 Act to deal with the establishment of autism units? The Minister is not here.
