I thank the Chair. It is also on the amendment to the Assisted Decision-Making (Capacity) Act. Ms Grogan mentioned that it will not fully realise the rights of people with psychosocial disabilities in relation to depriving them of their liberty and it is one of the issues we discussed in relation to the amendment Bill this year. She elaborated a bit in response to Senator Seery Kearney. Could she outline Mental Health Reform's key concerns with the Act as it stands?
