Like Deputy Ó Murchú, I, too, was at the launch of the final report of the Joint Committee on Autism. We had the privilege of sitting on that committee for the best part of a year. As Deputy Ó Murchú outlined, there are 109 recommendations across the whole spectrum dealing with inadequacies in disability services right through to education and recommendations involving health and possibly improvements to our social protection. I am not necessarily asking a specific question today. However, I am asking that in the forthcoming budgetary preparations, everything will be done that is required in terms of providing funding and additional resources for people with autism.
