I believe Deputy Colm Burke has drafted a Bill in this area. From the mental health perspective, it is obvious that all those factors - involuntary detention and so on - have a seismic affect on mental health.

From this committee's perspective, we will be drafting a report. We would love to achieve everything but we probably will not. What we need are maybe two or three clear asks in our report that would make a difference and improve things if implemented by the Government. If we were to ask Mr. Taylor for two or three key recommendations that we can put into our report, what would they be?
