Caoimhghín Ó Caoláin (Cavan-Monaghan, Sinn Fein)

Will new legislation be required to facilitate an extension beyond 2010? Is that the Government's plan?

I note from the list of promised legislation as published earlier today that the mental health (amendment) Bill has been put back again from 2009 to 2010. In its absence, will the Government provide an opportunity in the Dáil to properly address the failure to move forward with sufficient alacrity towards the implementation in full of A Vision for Change?
