The Deputy will be aware that the Programme for Government commits to the long-term funding for the centres that are currently in the ABA pilot scheme subject to agreement with my Department on standards that will enable the Department to support them as primary schools for children with autism.

I am pleased to advise the Deputy that discussions have already started on the matter. Once these discussions have been finalised, my department will be in a position to consider the application for the extension.
