Joan Collins (Dublin South Central, Independents 4 Change) | Oireachtas source

I ask the Minister of State for an update on the setting up of autism classes in the Dublin 12 area, namely, in Drimnagh Castle Secondary School, St. Paul's Secondary School, Assumption Secondary School, and Loreto College. In the next year a cohort of Dublin 12 children will need autism classes in secondary school. Children who may not have needed a class in primary school usually need one in secondary school as navigating secondary school is a lot harder. The question asked by the Dublin 12 campaign for autism spectrum disorder, ASD, inclusion is, if this is not provided, where will these children go?
