Mary Butler: I wish to advise that the reply issued by the CSO to Parliamentary Question No. 117 of 1 July 2025 incorrectly referred to a confidentiality designation relating to countries from which Ireland imported less than €1 million worth of goods in 2024.

Mental Health Bill 2024: Report and Final Stages (9 Jul 2025)

Mary Butler: I thank Deputy Clarke. Amendment No. 51 does not provide for a definition of "chemical restraint" or "advocate", two terms which have not been used elsewhere in the Bill. Amendment No. 52, proposed by Deputy Quaide, exactly matches the text of the published general scheme and includes terms that have not been used in the Bill itself. The Department has not included provisions on the use of...
