Joint Oireachtas Committee on Assisted Dying

System for Assisted Dying and Alternative Policies: Discussion (Resumed)

Dr. Feargal Twomey:

There are certain cases that are rare in my experience, and I have had no experience of such cases in the past ten or 20 years, where symptoms cannot be satisfactorily controlled for an individual.
