Patrick Nulty (Dublin West, Labour)

On May 8, I received a reply to a parliamentary question stating this country could not ratify the United Nations Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities because the legislative framework was not yet in place. One of the key aspects of the legislative framework is No. 25 in the legislative programme, namely, the mental capacity Bill. Although campaigners in the area were promised the Bill would be published in April, it is yet to be published. Will the Bill be published this month or when will it be published.
