The Deputy will understand that it is not possible for me to predict the outcome of the legislative process with regard to this, or any other Bill. However, I can say that the Assisted Decision-Making (Capacity) Bill 2013 was passed by Dáil Éireann on 21 October 2015. The Bill is scheduled to go before the Seanad for Second Stage on 10 November 2015. The aim is that the Bill will be enacted by the end of this year.
