Kenny to visit right to die activist

Taoiseach Enda Kenny is to meet terminally ill multiple sclerosis patient Marie Fleming in her home, her partner has revealed.

The right-to-die campaigner had urged the Taoiseach and other legislators to see how she lives in a bid to get them to pass laws on assisted suicide.

Her partner, Tom Curran, held a “good, frank conversation” with Mr Kenny for an hour after he previously rejected the possibility of legislation on the issue.
