Joint Oireachtas Committee on Autism: Autism Policy: Discussion (Resumed) (30 May 2023)

Ruairí Ó Murchú: Apologies, I have just landed, but I was listening to the debate the entire time. I will not break with what people have said in thanking everyone.

Ruairí Ó Murchú: Mark Dermody has made it clear they got State back pay in relation to an AON. It has happened in certain places across the system but not others. Promises have been made on the basis of some of the discourse that was here. We need to see that delivered. Some of this is out of desperation. We need to look at what the best means of both assessment and therapies are. I think it was Adam...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Autism: Autism Policy: Discussion (Resumed) (30 May 2023)

Ruairí Ó Murchú: I thank Ms Campbell and Ms Kinross. What we have been hearing is very positive.

There is no perfect system. A system may make sense but that does...
