I also welcome the amendment. It is a little ironic that for the first time in the Bill, the words "mental capacity" are used. I am glad the Minister of State has acknowledged that a person's mental capacity must be taken into account. I regret she did not use those words when speaking about the evaluation of a person's needs. When the Bill goes back to the Dáil, she might consider this.
