Joint Oireachtas Committee on Assisted Dying

System for Assisted Dying and Alternative Policies: Discussion

Professor Ben White:

That the Carter decision established a boundary as to what the law in that country was, that subsequent legislation that was passed fell short regarding the Carter decision and was challenged as a result, and that, subsequently, legislation that was passed and is now being considered aims to rectify non-compliance with the charter decision of Carter. Others are expert on that, but that is my understanding of it.
