Joint Oireachtas Committee on Assisted Dying

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

Dr. Feargal Twomey:

To address Deputy Troy's point, there are disparities around the country. I cannot obviously go into the details of the policy but it seeks to address a number of those, alongside what Ms Siobhán McArdle just said. The key issue will be that when the policy is launched funding will come from the Government to implement it.
