Mental Health Bill 2024: Committee Stage (Resumed)
Seanad Éireann — 2025-12-17
============================================================

Frances Black (IND), Industrial and Commercial Panel

I meant to say that the amendment gets rid of due weight for over-16s. Again, I am looking for a little clarity. It says due weight must be given to the decisions of under-16s. I ask for more clarity on under-16s with regard to due weight.
