The Government has been called upon to grant a free vote on a bill seeking to allow terminally ill people to end their own lives.

At a press conference at Leinster House, Solidarity People Before Profit TD Gino Kenny and Labour leader Alan Kelly called for support for the Dying with Dignity Bill which will be introduced in the Dáil on Tuesday.
