Confidence in the Minister for Justice: Motion (5 Dec 2023)

Pa Daly: We have no choice but to bring this motion. We have no choice because the problems are so serious. They have been raised but they were not addressed in an adequate way. We highlighted the problems that existed and continue to exist within criminal justice. We said there was a crisis with Garda morale and the Minister said there was no crisis. We said she needs to complete the new...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Assisted Dying: Religious, Faith-Based and other Philosophical Perspectives on Assisted Dying: Discussion (5 Dec 2023)

Pa Daly: I will ask a question of the humanist association. Mr. Ward maintains there is no evidence of a slippery slope. People from the Netherlands were before the committee and I was struck by what they said. They said that people do not want to die but do not want to live in the manner they are living. They told us there has been an increase in the number of people taking their own lives in the...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Assisted Dying: Religious, Faith-Based and other Philosophical Perspectives on Assisted Dying: Discussion (5 Dec 2023)

Pa Daly: The humanist association's sister organisation in England stated it would support assisted dying for people suffering from a terminal, incurable or progressive condition. Has Mr. Ward any view on the definition of a terminal illness? Take, for example, people who have a form of cancer that would mean, with treatment, it would take ten years to die. Would such people qualify in those...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Assisted Dying: Religious, Faith-Based and other Philosophical Perspectives on Assisted Dying: Discussion (5 Dec 2023)

Pa Daly: I will ask the following more broadly of the other witnesses. Consider a situation where somebody is in severe pain as the result of a motor neuron disease for which there is no cure. Perhaps that person is approaching the last three or four months of their lives, has had counselling and as much treatment as they are going to get. Let us say such a person has three months left to live....

Pa Daly: I have a question for contributors who have had experience of pastoral care on both sides of the Border.
