Mental Health (Involuntary Procedures) (Amendment) Bill 2008: Committee Stage
5:00 pm
Déirdre de Búrca (Green Party)
I wish to respond to Senator Twomey's point about whether we should support the use of ECT. The thrust of our amendment is to remove the involuntary use of ECT from the Statute Book. The question of removing it altogether is a wider one. It misses the point of our amendment. Senator Twomey said surgery is invasive.
