The government wants to delay the passage of a controversial bill to allow terminally ill people end their own lives in order for a special committee to examine the issue. Speaking to the Irish Examiner, Mr Kenny said the government’s proposed course could kill his bill. “The best course of action from my point of view is for it to go through pre-legislative scrutiny," said Mr Kenny. “I am very pleased that the Dignity in Dying Bill was pulled out of the lottery today and that it will be debated next week in the Dáil. This is for a small number of people in very limited circumstances,” Mr Kenny said.
