Mothers of autistic children take welfare grievances to Dáil

Three mothers of autistic children whose domiciliary care allowances and carers’ allowances have been cut yesterday brought their grievances to Leinster House.

Helen Fahy, Lorraine Ryan, and Aimee Doogue, all from Carlow, made a presentation to Oireachtas members.

The same three mothers are also seeking a judicial review of the decision-making process where some families had their allowances cut and others were under review.
