Joint Oireachtas Committee on Assisted Dying
Access to Palliative Care and Social Supports: Discussion
Ms Emer Maguire:
A couple of things have come up around the family being left out. I was speaking about dignity, and I know Deputy Kenny asked and talked a few minutes about it. There was no dignity for our family. We were left waiting 18 days for his ashes to be delivered before we could have a funeral for our uncle. There was no contact. Everything was done outside of his family's knowledge.
