Robert Troy says he and his colleagues are taking their role very seriously.
A midlands TD believes that a medical judgement of a high probability of death may be subjective.

Longford Westmeath Fianna Fáil TD, Robert Troy, claims that elderly people with underlying conditions may be judged medically, to have a high chance of dying, but could also live for many more years.
Deputy Troy says there is a huge burden of responsibility involved in being on the committee:
