Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health

A Regulatory Framework for Adult Safeguarding: Law Reform Commission

Dr. Andrea Mulligan:

There is probably a slightly overlapping issue which is the idea of regulation of those entities as entities. That is slightly different from the question of protective powers and adult safeguarding, which is what we are looking at. Ms Caulfield or Ms Coen might speak more to this. There may be a separate regulatory system that needs to regulate those entities. It is not necessarily what we are looking at. We are looking at the protective powers that would be able to protect people in those institutions. That would regulate alongside a regulatory system.
