My question is on parts of the Assisted Decision-Making (Capacity) Act 2015. It is of grave concern that the parts relating to the repeal of the Lunacy Regulation (Ireland) Act 1871 and the review of the wards of court provisions have yet to be commenced. This is particularly important, given Ireland's ambition to ratify the UN Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities and support those who wish to make a living will so as to ensure that, if they are unable to make their wishes known at a later time, they can do so now. We need to examine this matter urgently.
