Joint Oireachtas Committee on Assisted Dying

Engagement with People with Disabilities

Mr. Peter Kearns:

It would give choice to disabled people. It would change the life stages and life course. There is a danger that disabled people are treated as an homogenous group. There is a danger that they are even seen as childlike all through their lives. At various stages disabled people experience different barriers through their lives. Like what Deputy Kenny said, it is about proper access to proper supports. Then you have a choice.
