I wish to advise the Deputy that officials from the National Council Special met with the school authorities concerned last week and have updated my Department in this regard. I share the Deputy's desire to see this purpose built facility for children with autism utilized to full potential and given the commitment of all concerned to the unit I am confident of a future resolution of remaining issues.
