Report on the Summer Programme 2023: Motion [Private Members]
Dail Éireann — 2023-02-02
============================================================

Pat Buckley (SF), Cork East

I will make a very quick comment. I thank everybody across the House. I enjoyed listening to their contributions and I welcome the comments of the Ministers of State. I will put on the record, and the committee is very proud of this - Senator Carrigy was the driving force behind it - that Leinster House is now in the process of becoming autism friendly. I thank everybody in the Houses, including staff, management and so on, for that. I hope the Minister of State, Deputy Madigan, takes on the report's recommendations. I love what the Minister of State, Deputy Rabbitte, said about this matter being cross-departmental. That is the way it should be. The Committee on Autism is cross-party. It is a proud day for everybody that this is a step forward and is progressive. I will give Senator Carrigy the rest of the time and the spotlight in the show.
