Joint Oireachtas Committee on Assisted Dying

Safeguarding Medical Professionals: Discussion

Dr. Deirdre Collins:

I suppose our position at the moment is that we are representing the broad views of all our membership. Some are very supportive and some are very firmly on the other end of the argument and there are many people in the middle. This has been very much an opening of the conversation. We are still in the early stages of that exploration and conversation. To answer the Deputy directly, there has not been a change in our position but we are moving along as time, society, life and legislation dictate.
