Joan Collins (I4C), Dublin South-Central

I have been working with the Dublin 12 campaign for autism spectrum disorder, ASD, inclusion for a long time. It is a vibrant campaign that got a school on St. Agnes Road with the support of the Minister. Over the past while, however, and in particular this summer, there has been a transition from CHO 7, Enable Ireland and other services to progressive disability services. The families in question have been left in a lacuna. They have already suffered long waits for speech and language therapy, occupational therapy and audiology services. Now they have been left with nothing. They were recently told that the transfer list would start at the end of September. There must be an intervention to ensure that this process is progressed quickly. I would like the Tánaiste to discuss doing so with the CEO.
