More places for children with autism at Dublin schools

Seven primary schools in the Dublin 15 area have agreed to open specialised autism classes for this school year.A seventh school has agreed voluntarily to open a special class, according to the Department of Education.

In correspondence published by the Department of Education, schools served with the notices objected on a number of grounds including a lack of space, a lack of adequate notice, and the need for teachers and other staff to receive training. In a statement, Minister for Education Joe McHugh thanked principals, school management and patrons, in particular Archbishop of Dublin Diarmuid Martin, for "their honest and open engagement with the legal process".
