Seanad Éireann — 2025-12-02

Mary Butler (FF), Waterford

That is why I am not going to specify what dual diagnosis is. Dual diagnosis issues are being treated. I accept that the services are not where I want them to be. We are rolling them out incrementally year on year and building them up. One cannot say that an adult with an intellectual disability and mental health challenges cannot have an addiction also.
