Mental Health Bill 2024: Committee Stage (Resumed)
Seanad Éireann — 2025-12-09
============================================================

Mary Butler (FF), Waterford

I will respond to the Senator's final point. It is just a style issue. It is consistency in wording. It is not a change to a different consultant looking after a child, an adult or whoever. It is more of a technical amendment. As I have said, the only way I can describe it is that there is a need to have the wording consistent throughout all sections of the Bill. It is nothing to do with the overall purpose of the Bill or the treatment that anybody would receive.
