Today has been extremely informative. There was an opinion poll in the Business Postthis Sunday that indicated the overwhelming majority of respondents would support changing the legislation. All previous polls indicate the same. There is overwhelming support in Ireland not only for a debate on this issue but also for going beyond that to legislate. It is obviously up to us to make that decision. I hope we will in the foreseeable future.

We touched on capacity and safeguards. These are extremely important elements of assisted dying. Could Dr. Campbell run us through the process, particularly in the Netherlands, if somebody wants to avail of assisted dying? How long does it take from the time that a patient wants to avail of assisted dying to the day of taking the life-ending medication?
