This segment is about promised legislation. What I will ask the Tánaiste today was promised and was legislated for but it was never implemented.

The Assisted Decision Making (Capacity) Act dates back to December 2015. This was welcome legislation that replaced antiquated laws around the wards of court. Incredibly, after five and a half years, it has not been implemented. Things work slowly in the Chamber but this is incredibly slow. Why has there been such a delay and when will the Act be implemented replacing the antiquated laws around wards of court?
