Dail Éireann — 2025-06-25
============================================================

Mary Butler (FF), Waterford

I move amendment No. 282a:
In page 160, after line 13, to insert the following:
“ Amendment of section 136 of Act of 2015
208. The Act of 2015 is amended by the substitution of the following section for section 136:
“ Involuntarily admitted persons whose treatment is regulated by Chapter 3 of Part 3 of Act of 2025
136. (1) Nothing in this Act authorises a person—
(a) to give an involuntarily admitted person treatment for a mental disorder, or
(b) to consent to an involuntarily admitted person being given treatment for a mental disorder,
if, at the time when it is proposed to treat the involuntarily admitted person, his or her treatment is regulated by Chapter 3 of Part 3 of the Act of 2025 , unless the treatment concerned is authorised in accordance with Chapter 3 of Part 3 of the Act of 2025.
(2) In this section, ‘mental disorder’, ‘involuntarily admitted person’ and ‘treatment’ have the same meaning as they have in the Act of 2025 .”.”.
