Holly Cairns (Cork South West, Social Democrats) | Oireachtas source

We need more secondary school places for children with disabilities in Cork South-West. In particular, there are insufficient specialised units for young people with autism, or autistic young people. The lack of proper spaces and adequate supports is a breach of their rights under the UN Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities and it is a source of considerable concern for families. What assurances can the Minister of State give them that she will provide sufficient school places?
