A Roscommon mother says she's frustrated over a lack of services for her child with autism.

Sandra McEvoy's son Shane has been on a Child Disability Network waiting list for a psychological report since 2019.

A date was confirmed for this assessment after Christmas however Sandra was informed last week that this was no longer possible due to high demand and her son would now need to be referred by a GP to the CAMHS service.
