Gino Kenny (PBP), Dublin Mid-West

Two years ago today this House voted by 81 votes to 71 votes to progress the Dying with Dignity Bill. Since then, progress on the issue has stalled. I believe this is a derogation of this substantial issue. It is imperative that the recommendation made by the Oireachtas Joint Committee on Justice to establish a special Oireachtas committee to examine the issue is constituted as soon as possible. It is important. The indication is that the Irish public would support a change in the law around assisted dying. When will the Government commit to a special Oireachtas committee to give us, and more importantly to give the public, a chance to examine the issue of assisted dying?
