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

Lynn Ruane (IND), University of Dublin

-----when we are talking about addiction. She is giving an example of dual diagnosis but then saying she has services for dual diagnosis. Therefore, her Department must be able to define it. If Keltoi is a service for dual diagnosis, then the Minister of State understands exactly what dual diagnosis is. What I am suggesting would not make the Bill confusing at all; it would align with all the work being done on the ground. I am quite confused by what has been said.
