I have engaged with the Minister on this issue previously. There are many positives. As Deputy Ó Cathasaigh said, it is a matter of ensuring that best practice is employed. Universal design makes campuses more comfortable. Whether we are talking about autistic people or those with other disabilities, it is by means of universal design for learning that we can enable individuals. It is almost a case of arriving at a bespoke solution for every individual in the best way we can. We need to ensure that this happens. There is also the wider issue of ensuring that the scaffolding and framework are in place to facilitate these students to be all that they can be, which is what we are trying to do across the board.
