Assisted Decision-Making (Capacity) (Amendment) Bill 2022: Committee Stage (Resumed)
Seanad Éireann — 2022-10-06
============================================================

Roderic O'Gorman (GP), Dublin West

I understand that the intention of this proposed amendment is to broaden the review procedures. A review is already provided for in the legislation. The text being proposed by Senator Warfield would have the unintended consequences of restricting a review to only the matters stated. It is important to ensure that review provisions are broad enough to address whatever issues may arise in the context and operation of the Act. I think this proposed amendment would have a limiting role in respect of how the review would operate, so I am not in a position to accept it.
