Enda Kenny (Mayo, Fine Gael) | Oireachtas source

The Deputy has asked a good question. This scheme was suspended for new entrants because of a range of constitutional and legal complications. The Deputy, or someone else, also asked me this question last week. I have asked for a report on the work that has been undertaken to provide a new scheme. I understand that the issues involved are not as simple as one might imagine. I will advise Deputy Brady when I have an up-to-date report on the matter. I know it has been going on for three years, but it is quite complex.

With regard to Deputy Gino Kenny's question, I understand the Minister of State, Deputy Halligan has decided, last week, to reinstate his Dying with Dignity Bill.
