Irish trio planning suicide trip to Switzerland

THREE Irish people are planning to travel to Switzerland where an organisation called Dignitas will help them to commit suicide, according to the head of the group.

They have sought information on how to end their lives from the controversial group which has assisted 128 people to commit suicide since it was established in 1998 by Swiss lawyer Ludwig Minelli.

Next week gardaí will travel to the US to seek the extradition of an American right-to-die activist who helped a Dublin woman kill herself last January.
