Special Educational Needs
Seanad Éireann — 2022-03-24
============================================================

Róisín Garvey (CC), Nominated by the Taoiseach

It is good that there will be a new Oireachtas committee on autism. I will be a member of that committee and hopefully it will bring these issues to the fore. Since I came into this House, from day one, I have been approached by so many people on autism-related issues. The fact that private schools do not have any special classes is a serious issue when one considers the fact that they are getting State funding.
