Mental Health Bill 2024: Committee Stage
Dail Éireann — 2025-06-11
============================================================

Ruairí Ó Murchú (SF), Louth

The Minister of State should be well used to me using flexibility. I decided that I needed to mention the fact we need to put a certain emphasis on community services. That was already mentioned by Deputy Clarke, so I apologise. I did digress. I get that we are dealing with the issue of involuntary admissions, but we were trying to flesh out how to ensure we are talking about something that is holistic. That was the idea around the biopsychosocial. It is about making sure we are taking into account all the aspects that are impacting on the person.
