Maria Corrigan (Fianna Fail)

On the Order of Business yesterday I asked the Leader when the Multi-Unit Developments Bill would be brought back to the House. He indicated that he would respond this morning. Will he give us an update on the matter?

We discussed the Mental Health (Involuntary Procedures) (Amendment) Bill yesterday evening. In his response the Minister of State indicated he would undertake and announce a mental health review in February or March. Our debate last night was confined to the amendment referring to ECT. Given that a mental health review will be much broader in scope, will the Leader arrange a wide-ranging debate on mental health issues, including implementation of A Vision for Change, before February to inform the Minister of State's view in order that he can take account of the expertise and suggestions offered by Members?

I was struck by comments made this morning about contempt for this House. Most contempt for the House was expressed when a party leader proposed that it be abolished.
