Assisted decision-making Bill

Summary

Catherine Murphy asks when the renamed assisted decision-making (capacity) Bill will be published and enacted; the Taoiseach says drafting is advanced and a date will be provided.

The delay at drafting stage on the mental capacity Bill has now been overcome. When is the Bill likely to be published and what is the intended timeline for its enactment?

What was originally referred to as the mental capacity Bill is now known as the assisted decision-making (capacity) Bill. I confirm that work on the Bill is very advanced and we will let the Deputy know exactly when the Bill is to be published.
