579. To ask the Minister for Health if he will fast-track the creation of a quiet/sensory waiting room in the Tallaght Hospital accident and emergency department where autistic people and people with intellectual disabilities can retreat to when feeling overstimulated, helping to maintain their dignity and de-escalate potential personal crisis situations; and if he will make a statement on the matter.

As this is a service matter, I have asked the Health Service Executive to respond to the Deputy directly, as soon as possible.
