Taoiseach's apology 'too little, too late' says mother of two autistic sons

Taoiseach Micheál Martin: 'I apologise to the Milne family on behalf of the Government, because it simply is not good enough. I do not stand over this. There is an absence of pro-activity in the system.' Picture: Gar Chaney/ Collins 

Gillian Milne, mother of autistic boys Ryan and Kyle, has described an apology from Taoiseach Micheál Martin as "too little, too late". 

Reacting to Mr Martin's apology in the Dáil, Ms Milne said the Taoiseach can't give them back the six years the boys should have been in school - the chance to make friends, make their communion or the other missed occasions.
