Joint Oireachtas Committee on Assisted Dying: Assisted Dying in Canada: Discussion (17 Oct 2023)

Rónán Mullen: It worries me that there can be, as Deputy Troy mentioned, such a remarkable contrast in the analysis being given. I noted Professor Downie’s reassurance that there had not been sanctions and breaches, but to then hear that there were breaches in Quebec makes me realise that you cannot read one paper without reading the other in order to get the full picture.
