Second level autism unit in train

Children with autism will be accommodated in Cross & Passion College from this autumn if the preparation of a new classroom for them is carried out on time, writes Brian Byrne.

The move in the second-level college has been in train for some time, as there's a need for accommodating pupils from the autism unit in Scoil Bhride primary school.

Funding for the CPC classroom was confirmed recently and the College is now in pre-planning discussions with Kildare County Council, prior to a formal planning application.

It is hoped the new facility will be available from September. It will be situated in a refurbished area of the original Cross & Passion sisters convent.
