Brian Lenihan Jnr (Dublin West, Fianna Fail)

I take it the Senator is referring to the 2001 Act and to this legislation in referring to these inconsistencies. Of course, there is a fundamental distinction between this Bill and the 2001 Act. This Bill deals with persons who come before the courts and it provides a "regime", if I can use that somewhat sinister word, for them. The purpose of the 2001 Act is quite different and it deals with the general care and attention of such persons.
