Criminal Law (Insanity) Bill 2002: Committee Stage (Resumed).

 

2:00 am

Mary Henry (Independent)

I would be grateful if the Minister reconsidered the amendment in these days of better communications with mobile telephones and the like. One frequently hears the Garda advising members of the public not to approach certain individuals because they are considered dangerous. I would not like psychiatric institution staff members to believe they had an obligation to arrest an abscondee and risk possible serious injury.
