Mental Health Bill 2024: Committee Stage (Resumed)
Seanad Éireann — 2026-01-28
============================================================

Mary Butler (FF), Waterford

That is fine, Senator. It is just there are so many amendments and we have spent a lot of hours on the Bill.
Amendment No. 217 proposes:
In page 77, lines 34 to 36, to delete all words from and including "she—" in line 34 down to and including line 36 and substitute "she is a relative of the child concerned.".
Is that the amendment to which Senator Black referred?
