‹ Order of Business Assisted Decision-Making Bill
Summary
Eric Byrne asks when the Assisted Decision-Making (Capacity) Bill will return for Committee Stage to facilitate ratification of the disability rights convention. The Taoiseach says amendments are being drafted and the Bill is due back in the House.
Ireland needs to ratify the United Nations Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities. To do that we need the completion of the Assisted Decision-Making (Capacity) Bill. I know it had reached Committee Stage and technical amendments were being suggested. Will we see it this year?
