Autistic boy to be sent abroad

THE parents of an autistic boy who last month lost a High Court bid to place their son in care abroad will now be able to send their child to Wales thanks to a fundraising campaign.

Annette and Colm O’Carolan have almost raised the €50,000 they need to send Lewis to a specialist autism centre in Bangor.

A campaign, set up by the Hope Project, founded by disability campaigner and MEP Kathy Sinnott has raised the money since just over three weeks ago.
