Mental Health Bill 2024: Committee Stage (Resumed)
Dail Éireann — 2025-06-18
============================================================

Mary Butler (FF), Waterford

I move amendment No. 176:
In page 78, lines 39 and 40, to delete “it is unsafe or not in the best interests of the child to release the child into the care of that person or persons” and substitute the following:
“there is an immediate and serious risk to the health or welfare of the child by releasing the child into the care of that person or persons”.
