I congratulate Senators Carrigy, Ardagh and Wall and the Cathaoirleach on the great work done in the committee in raising awareness of autistic people and the work they did to make this an autism-friendly Parliament. I congratulate Senator Carrigy on his work on the autism-friendly Parliament.
The first person to speak was Senator Ardagh who congratulated Senator Carrigy, as did most Members this morning, on the fantastic achievement by the Oireachtas, which was really driven by Joint Committee on Autism chaired by Senator Carrigy, and other colleagues as well, in particular, Senator Ardagh, who put much work into educating all of us on the importance of being more inclusive as a Parliament and leading the way in being one of the first parliaments to become autism friendly.
