Pádraig Rice (Cork South-Central, Social Democrats)

I asked the Minister of State questions about section 12 and I do not think I got a response. I raised the concerns of the Psychological Society of Ireland about the lowering of the threshold, whether the Minister of State agreed the threshold was lowered in section 12 for involuntary admission and what her response was to the deep concern expressed by the Psychological Society of Ireland in urging the restoration of a higher threshold and higher safeguards before the deprivation of liberty.
