The Senator, having spoken to people who provide the services, tried to say that the services are being provided only to those with a mental health difficulty and a drug addiction. That is not the case. An adult with an intellectual disability, for example someone with Down’s syndrome who might have dementia and mental health challenges, will have a dual diagnosis. They are not going to be turned away. Therefore, I am not going to legislate for dual diagnosis when we are already putting the supports in place. I abs…

Both.

I was talking about day services.

The Senator is.

The Senator absolutely is.

I could drive the Senator to Cherry Orchard this moment and show her the beds.

The Senator needs to speak to the amendment.

I do not have to.

I would like to respond first.

Senator Keogan has not spoken about the amendments we are discussing. She came in to make a point. I would like to make one back, which is that 90% of all eating disorders are best looked after in the community. We have 15 teams in place, 13 of which are resourced and two of which are the subject of recruitment processes. I recently went to Riverside House in south Dublin to open a facility with an adult team and a children’s team colocated. They are multidisciplinary teams, with consultant psychiatrists, psycholog…

The Senator does not have to stand up.

No, the Senator got a chance. The Senator came in-----

-----and made a charge. I am thinking about those people and nurses who are working the night shift in Cherry Orchard tonight and looking after young people who are very sick with anorexia nervosa or some other eating disorder, or in Merlin Park in Galway or Eist Linn in Cork. I have visited each and every one of those places. For the Senator to come in and say that there are no eating disorder supports for people and young people in this country is factually incorrect and I would ask her to withdraw her comment be…

That is not fair.

It is not fair.

The Mental Health Bill does not specify any mental health difficulty or mental disorder, including dual diagnosis. A person with a coexisting mental health difficulty and other issues can access inpatient mental health services where the person meets the criteria for involuntary admission. A person presenting with dual diagnosis is already accounted for in the current provisions of the Bill and should be able to access services based on need. I understand we have had lived experience that this was not the case prev…

It is proposed, notwithstanding anything in Standing Orders, that the Dáil on its rising today shall adjourn until 6 p.m. on Tuesday, 2nd December, 2025.

I have just left the Business Committee where this has been agreed with all Whips.

It is not opposed. I congratulate Deputy Ahern on introducing his first legislation to the House.

Deputy Carthy is Mystic Meg.
