Cara Darmody held a meeting with the Taoiseach for over an hour this week - fair play to her.

Her dad, Mark, said the waiting time for families to access an Assessment of Need is taking years.

A further issue when it comes to AON is that once it is conducted, access to the required services is also taking years, he added.Mark noted that there was progress made in the meeting with Martin but added that amount of time given to the family by the Taoiseach was far greater than they had expected.Warning that"talk is cheap", the family are set to continue their campaign until real change is made for families like his.

The Taoiseach tweeted about the meeting yesterday, saying it was a"great privilege to meet Cara Darmody with her parents today". He also thanked Cara for her"powerful and passionate advocacy on behalf of her two younger brothers, and for children with autism and special needs".
