Joint Oireachtas Committee on Assisted Dying

Assisted Dying, Legal and Constitutional Context: Discussion

Ms Rachel Woods:

It would depend on the specific case and precisely what happened, but on the wording of the law, yes, that could fall within aiding, abetting, counselling or procuring. However, it would depend on the specific actions of that person and it would be for the court to decide, if the DPP were to take a prosecution.
