Select Committee on Children and Youth Affairs: Assisted Decision-Making (Capacity) (Amendment) Bill 2022: Committee Stage (14 Jun 2022)

Seán Sherlock: On that basis, I seek leave to withdraw my amendment and submit it again on Report Stage. My rationale for proposing it is that the opening line in the Bill's explanatory memorandum reads: "The Bill gives further effect to the United Nations Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities (UNCRPD)." I would have thought that it was entirely appropriate for us to give effect to that in...

Select Committee on Children and Youth Affairs: Assisted Decision-Making (Capacity) (Amendment) Bill 2022: Committee Stage (14 Jun 2022)

Seán Sherlock: I am out of practice procedurally. What is the strict rule with regard to amendments that are ruled out of order where one has received correspondence from the committee Chair but one wishes to push back on that correspondence? I am not trying to put the Chair on the spot but one of my own amendments, No. 24, was ruled out of order on the grounds that it would impose a charge on the Revenue....

Select Committee on Children and Youth Affairs: Assisted Decision-Making (Capacity) (Amendment) Bill 2022: Committee Stage (14 Jun 2022)

Seán Sherlock: I am trying to bolt on an amendment here that gives an absolute right because I am fearful, notwithstanding the fact that the director and the staff of the DSS will be beyond reproach, of a systems failure. I ask the Minister to take a look at this before Report Stage and consider providing a more firm underpinning of the relevant person's right to know.

Select Committee on Children and Youth Affairs: Assisted Decision-Making (Capacity) (Amendment) Bill 2022: Committee Stage (14 Jun 2022)

Seán Sherlock: I move amendment No. 28: In page 62, line 4, after "146." to insert "(1)".

This amendment would ensure the legislation is reviewed...

Select Committee on Children and Youth Affairs: Assisted Decision-Making (Capacity) (Amendment) Bill 2022: Committee Stage (14 Jun 2022)

Seán Sherlock: Before we move to the amendments, I seek clarity in regard to section 82 in the context of the Juries Act. My understanding is that section 82 amends the First Schedule of the Juries Act by inserting what is clearly, in our interpretation, a mistaken provision that a person is ineligible to serve as a juror if he or she does not, in the opinion of the court, have sufficient mental or...

Select Committee on Children and Youth Affairs: Assisted Decision-Making (Capacity) (Amendment) Bill 2022: Committee Stage (14 Jun 2022)

Seán Sherlock: I will withdraw my amendments with leave to resubmit them. I have an impression that when we legislate, we create obligations on institutions and agencies like IHREC.

What we do not have sight of is whether the Decision Support...
