In December last I received a request from the Western Health Board, on behalf of the western branch of the Irish Society for Autistic Children, seeking capital grant assistance towards the construction of a special unit for autistic children in Galway. Certain aspects of the proposal are in the process of being clarified with the health board. When they have been clarified, I will consider the request for a grant.
