Now that we have the understanding that Mr. Farrelly can speak about it and he has spoken about other specific situations, why did the commission take such a strong stance in respect of other issues that have similarities but not in respect of this one? It says it wants to keep people in their community but not that is not the case in east Cork. Why has the Mental Health Commission taken such a different stance in respect of this issue compared with other issues, on which it has taken a very hardline and strong stance?
