Last night, a majority of TDs present in the Dáil shamefully voted to accept a report which recommended the legalistion of assisted suicide in Ireland. While this does not mean assisted suicide is lawful, it does give the next government the impetus to bring forward legislation on the issue, though some TDs opposing the measure did argue forcefully that a referendum would be required.
The Dáil has voted by a majority in favour of accepting the final Oireachtas report which recommends legislating for assisted suicide:
