Sir, contrary to what has been reported by Marie O’Halloran, Dáil Éireann did not vote to approve the assisted dying report yesterday evening. In reality, this was not the case. They showed their support for a motion, by a margin of 76 to 53, that the report should be noted, regardless of whether Deputy Cullinane’s cited interpretation was considered or not.
To give a lighter scenario to illustrate the point, on a day with clear skies, while I may acknowledge a weather report predicting rain, I would not necessarily agree with it. Resting my case, DR PAUL GREGAN, Bray, Co Wicklow.”
