Cara Darmody outside Leinster House
A Tipperary teen will hold a 50 hour long protest outside Leinster House sometime in May.
Cara Darmody, whose two brothers Neil and John have autism, has been campaigning to have the government stop breaking the assessments of needs law.
The teen is hoping that the protest will highlight the Governments requirement to carry out autism assessments of need for children within the legal limit of six months, which is currently not being met.
