It is planned to open a class for autistic children in Mullahoran Central National School, County Cavan, in September 2024. Funding has been approved by the Department since March 2022 to build a base class. All documentation has been submitted but the school has not got the permission to proceed to tender. If it does not get that permission very soon, the class and space will not be ready for next September. The school is constantly contacting the Department through email and phone calls but is getting no answers. Will the Minister please ask the Minister for Education to respond to the school and give it the go-ahead to go to tender?
