Deputy Buckley is next and must make it a short question. I have control of the microphones.

The Leas-Cheann Comhairle is in bad form today.

Comment on this

Is there an update on the Mental Health Act 2001? It has seen very little progress or movement in legislative programmes over the last three years. Mental Health Reform has called for a draft to be published fairly smoothly. Will the Minister do this?

I understand that the heads are not expected until the end of the year on that Act.
