An advocate of assisted dying and former TD has said he does not believe that the practice will be legalised within the lifetime of the current Dáil. Advertisement“I just don’t see this Government legislating for assisted dying,” he told Newstalk Breakfast. Since the Oireachtas report, the British and Scottish Parliaments have both considered and rejected assisted dying legislation, with the issue of coercion cited by many who voted against the bills. “Assisted dying, I think, should transcend party politics and it should be an individual choice of TDs or MPs.” Mr Kenny added that social attitudes have changed significantly in Ireland in recent years and argued that most people now support assisted dying.
