I move amendment No. 6:

In page 12, line 5, to delete “general visitor,” and substitute “general visitor, or”.

Amendments Nos. 6 and 7 remove references to "wards" and "wardship" from the definition of "intervention".

Wardship is regulated by the President of the High Court and the Lunacy Regulation (Ireland) Act 1871. It is not possible or appropriate that the committee of a ward would be subject to the provisions of the Bill. The Bill provides for the phasing out of adult wardship and committees and all new interveners will have to abide by the provisions of the Bill.
