Kathleen Lynch (Cork North Central, Labour)

I wish to ask about a Bill dealing with the legal capacity of people with an intellectual disability, namely, the Mental Capacity Bill 2008. Where exactly is this Bill? The last time I asked about it, I hoped the Title would be changed to the legal capacity Bill, as that would make much more sense. It is not just about evidence at trial, but about the ability to make a will and the ability to make decisions in respect of health treatment, something that Deputy Costello bravely tried to raise. Will we see this Bill before the session concludes?
