It was a privilege to be invited to give evidence before the Oireachtas Joint Committee on Assisted Dying this morning, alongside Dr Louise Campbell. I discussed how the courts have approached issues in end of life decision making, as well as consent and decision-making capacity.

I'll be speaking at this excellent conference tomorrow, discussing recent developments in housing law. In particular, I'll be talking about the impact of the Clare County Council v McDonagh judgment in lower courts.
