Mental Health Bill 2024: Committee Stage (Resumed)
Seanad Éireann — 2026-01-29
============================================================

Frances Black (IND), Industrial and Commercial Panel

I thank the Minister of State very much. I totally agree with her. I remember there was an older woman whose teeth went missing and then she was given somebody else's false teeth. It is awful.
Is there any idea about the timeline for the secondary legislation? Does the Minister of State have an idea about when or how it will progress?
