Assisted Decision-Making Bill

Summary

Senator Moran celebrates the unanimous passage of the Assisted Decision-Making Bill as a historic advance for people lacking capacity.

Absolutely.

I also welcome the passage through the Seanad last night of the Assisted Decision-Making (Capacity) Bill 2013 with unanimous support from all parties. This was a momentous and historic day in the history of the Seanad, particularly for those who lack capacity, as it will allow them to have more control and more of a say over their financial property and personal affairs into the future. It was a great day for people with disability or who lack capacity in any form, and it was one of my proudest days, if not my proudest, in my four and a half years in the Seanad.
