A row has broken out between members of the special Oireachtas committee on assisted dying with the chairman accused of seeking to “undermine” its final report on the eve of its publication.
In a letter sent this morning, Mr Healy-Rae thanked members for their work and said he wanted as a courtesy to inform them that he would be presenting a “set of minority recommendations” on behalf of the three members who dissented from the final report, which recommended legislating for assisted dying.
His email prompted a pointed response from Fine Gael TD for Fingal Alan Farrell, who told Mr Healy-Rae he was “not in the slightest bit surprised” at the development. “Deputy Troy and Senator Mullen are perfectly entitled to express their personal views, which I expect, but as Cathaoirleach, to present the report without accepting the report, is untenable. Thank you for confirming what I had already assumed.”“It is completely untenable that will present a report as Chair of the Committee to the press and then meet with them afterwards to present a minority report contradicting that same report,” she said.
