Mental Health Bill 2024: Committee Stage
Seanad Éireann — 2025-12-02
============================================================

Victor Boyhan (IND), Agricultural Panel

I thank the Minister of State for that clarification. I was referring to the written briefing material in the context of being helpful. The Minister of State wants to engage. She is saying that some of these amendments have come from other entities and individuals, including the Ombudsman for Children, mental health advocates and stakeholders within the sector, which is great. Information in that regard is very helpful to know. Like many other Members, I would be much more supportive of and keen to back amendments that I knew carried the weight of broad stakeholder support. Any link in the information supplied to us in that context would be helpful to the Minister of State, to the process and to us in terms of the support we will give.
