Mary Seery Kearney (Fine Gael) | Oireachtas source
When we talk about the alleviation of suffering, that would be the motivation of members of this committee and of those who are very firmly in the "Yes" camp. That is what I hear every time Deputy Gino Kenny asks questions. Is it that the definition of suffering can then be abused or challenged from a human rights perspective to open access to far more than was ever intended?
