Joint Oireachtas Committee on Assisted Dying

Assisted Dying and the Constitution: Discussion

Dr. Andrea Mulligan:

I agree with that, on the simple question of whether we need to touch the Constitution, my view is that we do not. Even Dr. Casey's view is that he has certain concerns about the legislation being vulnerable to challenge but there is nothing stopping the Oireachtas not going down a constitutional route. It does not need to do something about it.
