1006. Deputy Clare Daly asked the Minister for Education and Skills further to Parliamentary Question No. 810 of 26 May 2015, the reason her Department did not also facilitate the parents of the children who attended the two other service providers that existed at that time, in view of the fact that her Department was fully aware of their existence, as per departmental records dated 18 June 2007, but instead her Department decided to only offer an agreement to just one private commercial organisation, exclusively, for over five years, enabling that commercial company to expand to over 16 classes, while the two other service providers ended up closing their services, one of which was a parent-led charity set up because the parents were offered no educational service for their children when they were first diagnosed with autism spectrum disorder (details supplied).
