We know one another too well. In light of this morning's headlines about a young man who committed murder and was found not guilty by reason of insanity, when will the mental capacity Bill come before the House? In that context, will we have any movement with regard to people who attend psychiatric units looking for help, people who attend voluntarily rather than being brought by gardaí or a general practitioner? These people are turned away daily, sometimes with dire consequences.
