Professor Eilion?ir Flynn:

It is hard to identify what exactly is happening. Obviously, upon admission to CMH, there must be a record of the basis on which the person is being admitted. A record must exist at some point in that process but, as far as we could make out during this limited scoping review of the research, that is certainly not publicly-available data or data that could be easily extracted from internal records. The data that are made public are, as Ms Ní Chaoimh stated, the number of review hearings, for example. That is publicly available data that is not disaggregated or broken down in a way that it would be most useful to us to understand how many individuals it relates to, but the actual numbers and the grounds on which each of those numbers is based must exist at some level but are certainly not being made publicly available.
