Micheál Martin (FF), Cork South-Central

I do not know the circumstances and am always loath to comment on the comments of judges but the point the Deputy has raised is a serious one. It is not good enough that any person is in jail who should be in a secure mental health facility. That is not satisfactory. I will ask the Minister of State at the Department of Health, Deputy Butler, to examine that.
