Assisted Decision-Making (Capacity) (Amendment) Bill 2026: Report and Final Stages
Dail Éireann — 2026-03-25
============================================================

Gillian Toole (IND), Meath East

Similarly to an Teachta Ó Murchú, I commend the Minister of State and her team for the work that has been done to date. I laud the fact that the review process will be brought forward. That is important. I will not be pedantic and repeat what has already been said. There has been that offer of collaboration from Professor O'Flynn in University of Galway. I have passed on the details of the relevant person in the Department. We would have received some correspondence from Justice for Wards. The review process will be timely and highly beneficial to all parties. It will also be an opportunity to measure the progress as well, given the extension that has been enabled for due process to continue. We must encourage trust and engagement from those who might have been a little reticent heretofore that people are brought along in a spirit of collaboration and in the best interests and to achieve that will and preference for those who are vulnerable and concerned.
