A row has broken out in advance of the publication of the Oireachtas Committee on Assisted Dying's report, with members split over its recommendations.
The committee has been hearing evidence since last June and is due to publish its final report Wednesday. It is set to recommend assisted dying be legislated for in cases where a person with an incurable illness is expected to die within six months, extended to 12 months when a person has been diagnosed with a neurodegenerative disease.
