I will speak to amendments Nos. 25 to 27, which address wardship transitional arrangements. Where a wardship application is being processed to completion, as part of these transitional arrangements there is nothing to prevent a person who is the subject of a wardship application from appointing a decision supporter under the 2015 Act. Where an appropriate decision support is appointed, the wardship application must be withdrawn.
