Parents panic after new autism classes delayed: 'I have nothing to fall back on'

One parent, who had removed their child from waiting lists at other schools, stated they are yet to receive an update on the situation since being notified of the delay.

The planned opening of two new autism classes in an area that severely requires more special education provision looks set to be delayed, affecting a dozen families.

Two new autism classes, enrolling 12 students, are due to open at Corpus Christi National School in Drumcondra, Dublin 9.
