Richard Bruton (Dublin North Central, Fine Gael)

She is in hot competition. This legislation is now listed as No. 79 on the programme with the statement that its date of publication is not possible to indicate at this stage. What has happened to the Government's views? I know the Senator had strong support for competition but it appears to have left the agenda.

In a recent court case, €2.2 million was awarded to an individual who was wrongly detained in a mental health institution. When will the tribunals that were promised by legislation be established to deal with cases wherein people feel they have been wrongly treated in mental health institutions? They are sorely overdue.
