Joint Oireachtas Committee on Assisted Dying

Engagement with People with Disabilities

Mr. John Dolan:

The sample we have had may not be comprehensive. I was not looking at Mr. Kearns's notes when he was putting together his presentation and he was not looking at mine. However, there is a very strong similarity in the context of a push towards the kinds of things people need, not to have an easy life but to have a life that is worthy. Rosaleen, or Dr. McDonagh I should call her - I have known her too long to call her doctor anything - has made the same point about giving people the supports they need to live their lives. The issue is going that way. We can hear that. I have not come here today and said that I am speaking on behalf of anyone. This is where it lies currently.
