Joint Oireachtas Committee on Assisted Dying

Ethics of End-of-Life Care: Discussion (Resumed)

Mr. John Wall:

It is a point very well made by Mr. Curran. We constantly talk about other jurisdictions and what does not work but rarely do we hear what actually does work. This is very important for both sides of this debate and for all sides bar none of this debate to help us understand how to move and progress forward. While I would be somewhat opposed to the copy and paste mentality of some - I am not referring to anybody here - I believe we can learn from what others have achieved and how relevant it is to what we are trying to achieve.
