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

Mary Seery Kearney (FG), Nominated by the Taoiseach

We need to refer back to our discussions earlier today regarding the engagement that will happen before Report Stage in the context of enduring power of attorney and the mental health effect of the competition, so to speak, between those two powers, or those two documents and preferences that are put forward. We need to come back to this on Report Stage and make sure that the recommendations of the committee have been fully satisfied, particularly in the context of mental health. I reserve the right to give more consideration to that in taking on the point made by Senator Mullen and in the context of our discussion earlier today. I wish to address that on Report Stage.
