The Draft Child Care (Mental Health) Bill 2013 proposes significant changes to the involuntary admission and treatment of children in mental health contexts. Key provisions emphasize respecting children's rights, ensuring information accessibility, and minimizing treatment restrictiveness. The Bill outlines processes for detention, including judicial oversight and safeguards against invasive treatments, while reinforcing the importance of children's best interests throughout care decisions.

Mental Health Tribunals - Essential Cases - 1st Ed, Update 2 (Southside Legal Publishing, London, 2008)
The law relating to detention on the basis of mental disorder and the tribunal at the centre of applications for release should be settled and certain, given that it involves deprivation of liberty and a vulnerable population, two factors that make it important that the law be clear. However, the vast (and growing) body of case law suggests that this is not so. In this context, the aim of this book is to collate important cases relating to the powers and procedures of the Mental Health Review Tribunal. The book is broken into different sections, each dealing with different areas of the Tribunal's substantive powers or issues of procedure that arise. Each section sets out a summary of the statutory position in the Mental Health Act 1983 and the MHRT Rules 1983 (and the full text of relevant parts of the Act and the Rules is set out in an appendix), followed by a series of propositions that have been established by the cases; there are then extracts from the relevant cases. These sections are set out in alphabetical order: so to find the case law relating to a particular issue, look down the list of different sections to find the relevant one. There is also a full index at the front, which refers to the relevant part of the statute or rules and, if there have been cases, the chapter of the text.

Mental health legislation in Ireland: a lot done, more to do
The journal of the American Academy of Psychiatry and the Law, 2012
Mental health legislation is necessary to protect the rights of people with mental disorders, a vulnerable section of society. Ireland's new Mental Health Act 2001 was fully implemented in 2006 with the intent of bringing Irish legislation more in line with international standards, such as the European Convention on Human Rights and United Nations Principles for the Protection of Persons with Mental Illness.
