Mental Health Bill 2024: Report and Final Stages
Dail Éireann — 2025-07-09
============================================================

Sorca Clarke (SF), Longford-Westmeath

By not accepting the amendment and not recognising the value of the two and a half year interim review, the Minister of State is closing the door on potential learnings for the new parts of the Bill that may not be enacted or may not be fully in place. There may be very valuable learnings from parts of the Bill that have been enacted and the services that have been in place for two and a half years. Those learnings will not be shared with or available to the other parts that need to come more into place.
