Sorca Clarke (Longford-Westmeath, Sinn Fein)

With the greatest of respect, the Deputy has clearly not read the amendment because it specifically states:

Nothing in subsection (1) shall be construed as authorising the involuntary admission of a person to a registered acute mental health centre by reason only of the fact that the person— (a) has a psychosocial disability or a mental illness that does not fulfil the criteria for involuntary admission,

(b) has an intellectual disability,

(c) has a personality disorder,

(d) substance use issue [and so on].
