Quin Man Calls For Promised Oireachtas Committee On Dying With Dignity Bill To Be Urgently Convened
A Clare man living with stage four cancer is calling for the promised Special Oireachtas Committee on the Dying with Dignity Bill to be urgently convened. The bill, proposed by People Before Profit TD Gino Kenny, proposes that people who are terminally ill can seek assistance for "a dignified and peaceful end of life." Quin man, John Wall believes legislators need to work together to find a holistic solution for people with a terminal illness, that has strict criteria for access and is legally permissible. John will be among a group of people who will be descending on Leinster House next week to hand over a signed petition calling for the discussion to begin in earnest.
