497 Ms O'Sullivan asked the Minister for Education and Science when he expects to publish the report of the task force on autism; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [28963/01]
The report of the task force on autism has been received in my Department in recent days. The report, which extends to more than 500 pages, deals with a wide range of complex issues and will now require careful consideration in my Department. It is my intention that the report will be made publicly available as soon as possible. With this in mind, arrangements are now being made to have copies of the report printed so that they can be made available to interested parties. Arrangements are also being made to place the report on my Department's website.
