Criminal Law (Insanity) Bill 2010: Committee Stage.
11:00 am
John Moloney (Laois-Offaly, Fianna Fail)
I reiterate that I am prepared to take suggestions on Committee Stage. I also may take advice from the Irish council. In this context, I will have time before Report Stage to take into account and consider all of the proposals made. I again make the point that this is not the kind of legislation on which one simply votes down amendments. It is a matter of trying to come to the correct response, taking into account the Government's clear commitment given in A Vision for Change regarding mental health reform, of which this is part. While I will not accept the amendment, I will consider the suggestions made and use the time to come to a proper response on Report Stage.
