Cara Darmody tells Taoiseach  to fix 'disability discrimination'

The pair met in the Taoiseach’s Office, the second time the autism campaigner has been in the office since she met Micheál Martin in July last year

Cara Darmody at her parents' home in Ardfinnan, near Cahir, Co Tipperary. 

A schoolgirl who is campaigning for better autism services has met the Taoiseach and told him he must fix the "terrible disabiiity discrimination" that is taking place.

On Tuesday, Cara Darmody met HSE CEO Bernard Gloster and said the way his agency deals with waiting lists is a "disgrace". Today, the 12-year-old met face to face with Leo Vardakar and repeated that message, in a meeting she described as "The Rumble in the Concrete Jungle - Leo The Lion versus The Little Squirt.”
