Mary Butler (Waterford, Fianna Fail)

I move amendment No. 22:

In page 16, to delete lines 12 and 13 and substitute the following:

“ “relative” means, in relation to a person, a parent, grandparent, son, daughter, grandchild, sibling, aunt or uncle of the person by blood, adoption, marriage or civil partnership;”.

This amendment changes the definition of "relative" by taking first cousins out of the definition. This definition aligns with the definition of "relative" in the Mental Health Act 2001.
