Health and Criminal Justice (Covid-19) (Amendment) (No. 2) Bill 2021: Committee and Remaining Stages
Seanad Éireann — 2021-12-15
============================================================

Paul Gavan (SF), Labour Panel

I move amendment No. 7:
In page 5, line 30, after "2022," to insert the following:
"and following the laying before the Houses of the Oireachtas of a report, following a review of the functions and impact of the provisions of the Act, including the impact on human rights and mental well-being, at least two weeks before such a resolution is made,".
We are into a cycle now of repetition of wording that I have previously raised, so I will, probably, just be pressing my amendments from this point onwards. There is real merit in ensuring that we do understand and report on the impact of these provisions on human rights and mental well-being. That would be a useful thing for society. As I have made my point on this already, I will say no more.
