Lunacy law replacement

Summary

Dan Neville asks when outdated lunacy legislation will be replaced; the Taoiseach says the Assisted Decision-Making Bill does not cover its repeal but will provide an update.

Dan Neville Fine Gael

When will a Bill be published to replace or amend the Lunacy Regulation (Ireland) Act 1871, which labels as lunatics those with intellectual difficulties?

We have the Assisted Decision-Making (Capacity) Bill 2013 but it does not deal with the repeal of the Act mentioned by the Deputy. I will send him an update on what work, if any, has been done on that or whether it could be fitted into the Assisted Decision-Making (Capacity) Bill.
