I want to highlight the issue of the Saplings school for children with autism and complex needs in Carlow. As was seen in this week's edition of The Nationalist, parents have had to come out to fight for their children's school. This school was started in 2007 by parents with autistic children. In 2010, the Department took over the school but its accommodation is too small with problems with sewage and damp.
