Leo Varadkar (Dublin West, Fine Gael) | Oireachtas source

I welcome the publication of the report this morning. I have not had a chance to see it yet although my staff have provided me with a brief summary. I intend to meet the Chairperson, Senator Carrigy, in the next couple of weeks to allow him to present the report, and then we will identify the recommendations with which we can proceed. I have no doubt that there will be additional funding for autism services in the forthcoming budget. Equally, however, I know everyone in this Chamber knows that what needs to be done is about much more than money.
