Assisted Decision-Making (Capacity) (Amendment) Bill 2022: From the Seanad
Dail Éireann — 2022-12-14
============================================================

Mattie McGrath (IND), Tipperary

This amendment is very important. Any of us with any court experience, notwithstanding the family courts, knows that fees can be astronomical, so it is very important there is a cap. Many of these people are in a vulnerable situation. While wards of courts in the HSE might be fine, when they exit that, they might not have family or means and may not be able to meet fees. It is a very important measure.
