Neasa Hourigan: ...regardless of their gender identity. Many households in the country are receiving the census documents at present and are being asked to tick boxes for data in that regard. While we have come a long way, there are areas where we do not really recognise people's right to identify as non-binary. Would that be included in the scope of some of this work?

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health: Access to Community Neurological Rehabilitation Teams: Discussion (17 May 2023)

Joint Committee On Health: People Detained in Secure Forensic Mental Health Facilities: Discussion (6 Dec 2022)

Neasa Hourigan: That brings me to recommendation 15 and the review. I hope and presume that the example of somebody being detained since the 1970s is probably the worst-case scenario or the longest detention of which we are aware. I have a few questions about circumstances where somebody has been detained since the 1970s or 1980s. What is the best practice in terms of timely reviews? What happens on the...
