- Report of the Joint Committee on Assisted Dying: Motion (Resumed) (17 Oct 2024)
Éamon Ó Cuív: I appreciate the speaking time. I accept this is a difficult issue but I believe that once the door is opened, there will be no such thing as limiting access. We have seen that in all jurisdictions where assisted dying has been introduced it has grown and grown. Often what happens in a situation such as this is the proponents propose something very limited at the beginning and it then gets...

- Report of the Joint Committee on Assisted Dying: Motion (Resumed) (17 Oct 2024)
Gino Kenny: I probably will not use all of my time. It was a good debate and a reflection on the report itself. There are different views on this issue.

I want to put on the record that I am...

- Report of the Joint Committee on Assisted Dying: Motion (Resumed) (17 Oct 2024)
Gino Kenny: This is a complex issue and I hope it is not a divisive issue. I hope it can be legislated for in the next Dáil and I also hope to come back and push this issue. If I am not lucky enough to get back in, then hopefully somebody else will. However, I really believe that assisted dying will be legislated for in Ireland within the next number of years. It is inevitable that will...
- Report of the Joint Committee on Assisted Dying: Motion (17 Oct 2024)
Malcolm Noonan: I thank all the Deputies for their contributions. As we have seen from the debate, it is a very complex and emotive but hugely important issue we as legislators have a responsibility to debate and tease out. This is what this report is about.
