More than €300,000 withheld from Irish Autism Action in light of recent events

More than €300,000 raised from this year’s National Pyjama Day is being withheld from its intended recipient, Irish Autism Action (IAA).

National Pyjama Day is the annual fundraising event of Early Childhood Ireland (ECI), the body that supports 100,000 children in early education in Ireland.

IAA was the chosen organisation to receive the funds, however, in light of recent events involving the autism charity, ECI has decided not to release the money.
