Dear Principal,
The National Transport Authority (NTA) have worked closely with As I Am, Irelands Autism Charity, to prepare and assist Autistic people, and help them build their confidence to use public transport.
Research was carried out with parents of Autistic children, which highlighted that schools are a vital part of their network and the most relevant source for this type information to be shared.
Resources on how to use public transport include:
We are currently running a campaign to highlight these resources available on the Transport for Ireland website, Transport for Ireland , and would be grateful if you could distribute this information to the parents of your school.
I attach the poster for our campaign.
Many thanks for your support on this.

Congratulations to Ryan Sheridan and his team St Patrick’s Athletic who beat Shamrock Rovers to win the LOI U15 League recently. Ryan played in the EA Sports MU15 LOI Michael Hayes cup match between Cork City and St Patrick’s Athletic in Turners Cross Cork. He scored a super goal to equalise in the last minute of extra time guaranteeing his team secured a penalty shoot out. Unfortunately they were beaten on penalties but it was a super day for him and his team. Ryan won Goal of the Season for this achievement at the annual awards ceremony. Ryan is pictured with the League Trophy, his Goal of the Season Award and with his team. We are very proud of Ryan as he participates in the FAI Academy Programme this year. We wish him continued success.
Our thanks to Fiona and Niamh from Agri Aware who facilitated a very interesting Farm Safety workshop. Students had the opportunity to learn about current best practices and how best to ensure the highest possible standards are maintained. The programme aims to deliver a rounded guide to farm safety, ensuring that the work we do on farms is safe by recognising and increasing awareness around the dangers on farms so that we can all farm sustainably and in a safe environment for all.
Our 6th yr students enjoyed a well earned break today after completing their pre-mocks yesterday. They travelled to County Carlow where they took part in a leisurely walk along the River Barrow leading into the picturesque village of Leighlinbridge. Here they were welcomed to the Lord Bagenal Hotel with a hot drinks reception on arrival followed by a tasty hot lunch and a Krispy Kreme donut for dessert. Students then stopped off in Carlow town for a spot of shopping before heading back to CPC. Wishing all 6th years the best in the coming weeks as they begin the next phase of their 6th yr journey in CPC.
