If it's made its way into the Irish Current Law Statutes Annotated there will be commentary in that.

There a couple of articles on the Criminal Law (Insanity) Bill 2002 at http://www.ucc.ie/law/irlii/periodicals/keywordsearch.php?q=Insanity

Simon Mills' article is one of the top medico-legal types, so his is probably the best one to start with.

I have to confess though, I don't know how similar the 2002 Bill and the 2006 Act are.
