Hi Everyone,
Here it is !
The details of this Wednesday's public meeting ahead of the imminent enactment of the Capacity Bill this October.
Date: Wednesday, October 21st
Time: 7pm-9pm
Where? Global Room Hamilton Building Trinity College.
The evening will comprise:
- a 20 minute "all you need to know" style presentation on the Capacity Bill - presented by members of the Young Fine Gael Capacity2Change committee
- Contributions from a panel of special guests
- A Q&A with you , our audience.
The Capacity Bill is the most underrated and yet the most important civil rights issue of a generation. Before it's imminent enactment, Capacity2Change wants YOU to know about the effects this bill is set to have on all of us, not just those with reduced decision making capacity.
Some of the issues covered will be as follows:
- Abolition of the Lunacy Regulation Act
- Ratification of the UN Convention on the Rights of People with Disability
- Civil rights abuses in Ireland
- How current legislation is actively facilitating the abuse of civil rights for poeple with reduced capacity
- The significance of the Capacity Bill as a step towards equality
- The implications of the Capacity Bill for legal health care and social work professionals
- Legal capacity as a universal concept
Contact us at yfgcapacity2change@gmail.com if you have any further questions.

For those of you who don't know The (very cool) Global Room, it looks basically like the BBC Newsroom....
See you Wednesday.
Best Wishes,
Rachel.
