810. Deputy Clare Daly asked the Minister for Education and Skills further to Parliamentary Question No. 549 of 12 May 2015, the reason her Department did not also facilitate the parents of 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, per departmental records dated 18 June 2007, but instead her Department decided to only offer an agreement to one private commercial organisation exclusively for over five years, enabling that commercial company to expand to more than 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.
