Mental Health Bill 2024: From the Seanad
Dail Éireann — 2026-04-29
============================================================

Mary Butler (FF), Waterford

I would be confident that nobody will lose a pathway. All of the patients at the time will be patients of an approved centre. The Mental Health Commission will play a role here and the HSE will play a significant role here. Their role will be to ensure that every single person under the new Act has his or her rights vindicated. We will keep a close eye on it.
