As spokesperson for children on this side of the House, I draw my colleagues attention to an article in yesterday's The Irish Times by Jamie Smyth in which he stated that during the first nine months of this year 13 children under the age of 16 years were admitted to adult psychiatric beds in our hospitals. It is totally against the human rights of children that they would be admitted to adult psychiatric units.
