Amnesty International has completed its campaign on behalf of those who suffer from mental ill-health in Ireland in its exposé of the denial of the human rights of those in this vast area. Amnesty International has done some very good work and produced extremely revealing reports, especially on the contravention of international conventions on the rights of people suffering from mental ill-health. Can the delegates comment on this and give their response to what Amnesty International has worked on for five or six years?
