Assisted Decision-Making (Capacity) (Amendment) Bill 2022: Committee Stage
Seanad Éireann — 2022-09-28
============================================================

Fintan Warfield (SF), Cultural and Educational Panel

I move amendment No. 6:
In page 10, between lines 28 and 29, to insert the following:
"Amendment of section 8 of Principal Act
8. Section 8 of the Principal Act is amended by the insertion of the following:
"(11) The guiding principles contained in subsections (1) to (10) shall be interpreted consistently with the United Nations Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities, in particular, Article 12, and General Comment 1 of the United Nations Committee on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities.".".
Will I call a quorum? Even the mention of the word could trigger one. Could I possibly take the Minister's response to my amendment before I speak?
