Kathleen Lynch (Cork North Central, Labour)

The issue I wish to raise arises from the answer to a parliamentary question I submitted, just in case the Tánaiste suggests the matter is more appropriately to be dealt with by way of parliamentary question. Legislation has been enacted to deal with this issue and I want to know when it will be fully implemented. It relates to people with an intellectual disability who are inappropriately placed in psychiatric hospitals. I received the reply to my question this morning and it makes harrowing reading. I want to talk about the timeframe for introducing statutory instruments. I will read the last paragraph.
