- Select Committee on Justice, Defence and Equality: Assisted Decision-Making (Capacity) Bill 2013: Committee Stage (17 Jun 2015)
Colm Keaveney: I welcome the fact the Minister of State is very firm on the code of practice and how it applies across all Government agencies. I am aware of a case where a young child was restrained face down 600 times in one year, approximately 13 or 14 times a day and because of the difficulties in terms of resources in that facility, the child was expelled because the parent would not consent to a face...

- Select Committee on Justice, Defence and Equality: Assisted Decision-Making (Capacity) Bill 2013: Committee Stage (17 Jun 2015)
Colm Keaveney: I am tempted to withdraw the amendments. I would like to receive assurances, particularly with respect to amendment No. 270. The Law Reform Commission reported on advance care and recommended the establishment of the register. I note the complexity in terms of the difficulties surrounding that. Your assurance around the provision - what section of the legislation is provided?
- Select Committee on Justice, Defence and Equality: Assisted Decision-Making (Capacity) Bill 2013: Committee Stage (17 Jun 2015)
Colm Keaveney: I appreciate that. Before I either withdraw or press the amendment, I am trying to establish the assurances the Minister of State has given with respect to the register of advance care directives. This is very important. I know the Minister of State is sharing the information in good faith. I am concerned about the time delay surrounding the advancement of the register.

- Select Committee on Justice, Defence and Equality: Assisted Decision-Making (Capacity) Bill 2013: Committee Stage (17 Jun 2015)
Colm Keaveney: Yes, a Chathaoirligh. The Department stated it envisaged that the code of practice would be formulated to give guidelines to some of the detailed provisions of the legislation, yet from the draft heads I cannot establish who has the function of formulating that policy. In going through the legislation it is important to detail the origin, source and point of contact. I stand to be...
- Select Committee on Justice, Defence and Equality: Assisted Decision-Making (Capacity) Bill 2013: Committee Stage (17 Jun 2015)
Colm Keaveney: Will the Minister of State establish from the Minister whether there is provision for the multidisciplinary team within the legislation?

- Select Committee on Justice, Defence and Equality: Assisted Decision-Making (Capacity) Bill 2013: Committee Stage (17 Jun 2015)
