- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Assisted Dying: Assisted Dying and the Ethics of Autonomy: Discussion (24 Oct 2023)
Gino Kenny: I have a couple of questions for Mr. Riley and Mr. Copson. In Britain, an MSP in Scotland - I cannot think of his name - is trying to bring forward legislation. What are their views on that and where it would go? A number of cases in Britain in the last five to ten years caught my attention. I particularly remember Noel Conway's case. It was absolutely grotesque what that man had to go...

- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Assisted Dying: Assisted Dying and the Ethics of Autonomy: Discussion (24 Oct 2023)

- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Assisted Dying: Assisted Dying and the Ethics of Autonomy: Discussion (24 Oct 2023)

- Investment in Healthcare: Statements (19 Oct 2023)

They are treated very well and their experience is the best it...

Indications from the assembly are that they will call for decriminalisation and possibly regulation,...
