This talk will outline the regulatory framework (both mental health and social care) currently in place in Ireland for people with intellectual disability (I.D.) and mental health problems, in the context of the varied nature of available mental health services. As not all aspects of service are currently under the regulatory system, potential ethical issues arise, and will be discussed.

In addition new legislation regarding the support of people with vulnerable decision making capacity will be outlined (Assisted Decision Making (Capacity) Act, 2015); potential ethical issues that are currently arising from this legislation will be explored and discussed.
