- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Assisted Dying: Protecting Vulnerable People: Discussion (5 Dec 2023)
Gino Kenny: It is regrettable that the professor is using that kind of language. A palliative care specialist from Australia was before the committee last week.

- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Assisted Dying: Protecting Vulnerable People: Discussion (5 Dec 2023)
Gino Kenny: I understand that, and I agree. However, there are circumstances where people have extremely difficult endings. In those situations, I believe, and I hope the majority of people in Ireland believe, that in very limited circumstances somebody should have a say in how they die. I think that is a fundamental right, and I think Professor O'Neill would agree with that. Let us say that...
