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

Mattie McGrath (IND), Tipperary

What happens if the person is incapacitated to the extent that he or she cannot instruct or make a decision, which is possibly why he or she is a ward of court in the first place?
