Forget good intentions and give us resources

I WRITE as the parent of an 11-year-old autistic boy and also as PRO for Wake Up Call For Special Needs, a campaign group based mainly in Kerry.

I welcome the Disability Bill and hope that all the long years of campaigning by various groups do not go to waste.

Unfortunately, this Government has had so many good intentions over the years - the end of waiting lists within two years, more hospital beds, more medical cards, 2,000 extra gardaí - the list goes on and on.
