Criminal Law (Insanity) Bill 2010 [Seanad]: Second Stage

 

I will try now to address some of the specific points raised, including what supervision will be in place for people released under the conditions set out in subsection 13(c) and what agencies, supervision or criteria may apply. I fully appreciate the question. This issue also cropped up in previous debate in this House in relation to the training of the people involved. I stress that those involved will be people trained in the mental health system and not bouncers and so on. Those involved will be people trained as psychiatric nurses, people who will have the necessary qualifications and who will be vetted by the Mental Health Commission. It is most important that these are people from a psychiatric care background.
