Government yet to make substantial progress on autism recommendations

In 2023, the then-Oireachtas Autism Committee published its final report which included 109 recommendations. A review of the report by the current Oireachtas committee on disability matters has found that the Government has made "good progress" on just 32 of those, with "limited progress" on 59 and no progress at all on 18.
