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

Mary Butler (FF), Waterford

The Senator stated that they were incarcerated. I ask him to withdraw that. If he looks up the dictionary, and I did, he will see what the word "incarcerated" means. I do not think he meant it, but I would love for it to be withdrawn from the record.
