The Taoiseach has raised concerns that laws to allow for assisted dying could put older people "under pressure".

In a candid and wide-ranging interview, Micheál Martin has spoken about how he and his wife differ on whether their children should enter politics; the strain his career has put on the family, the upcoming reshuffle, and his relationship with the two other party leaders.
