Parliamentary privilege is considered to apply to the utterances of members participating online in the committee meeting where their participation is from within the parliamentary precincts. There can be no assurances in respect of participation online from outside the parliamentary precincts and members should be mindful of this when they are contributing.

This committee discusses dying, including suicide, and supporting information can be found on the committee's web page. Our agenda today is engagement with the topic of examining a system for assisted dying and alternative policies. This is the committee's final public meeting. We welcome witnesses from the HSE and the Department of Health. Our first guests are Dr. Siobhán Ní Bhriain, Dr. Philip Crowley and Dr. Feargal Twomey from the HSE. They have five minutes for their presentation and we will then move to the witnesses from the Department of Health.
