Cara Darmody set to meet Taoiseach for update on better autism services

A schoolgirl who has held a series of Greta Thunberg-style protests outside the Dáil and the Taoiseach’s Office earlier this year as she campaigns for better autism services is to meet Simon Harris later today.

Shortly after taking office, Mr Harris had promised Cara Darmody that he would talk to the HSE about her demand that the agency set a date by which it would abide by a law that it currently fails to comply.
