I agree that an authorised officer is the best way to go but it could involve dealing with a very chaotic situations, for example, someone with schizoaffective disorder.
They may be remaining at home. What are the options for that kind of person? They will not go to a Garda station or an emergency department. There are many problems. The review of that has to be examined and the person’s rights have to be centre stage.
