It might be a good idea for this committee to have a briefing on the Assisted Decision-Making (Capacity) Act in the context of our consideration of this Bill. That could be very useful. I thank Ms Anderson for her response.

My next question is for Dr. O'Mahony. In his opening statement he mentioned the Mental Health Act and the criminal justice system. In his written submission he said it is regrettable the review of the 2001 Act, which we are now reviewing, has ignored the issue totally. What would he like to see in this Bill on this issue?
