Most of the questions have been asked so I do not want to be repetitive. Senator Hoey mentioned the Assisted Decision-Making (Capacity) Act 2015. That passed through the Oireachtas in 2015, six years ago, and it has not been implemented. What is the knock-on effect of that? If it was implemented, what effect would it have on this legislation? This might have been answered but I would like it clarified for myself.
