The Forum on End of Life in Ireland

The Forum on End of Life in Ireland seeks to develop a vision of how modern Ireland can address the challenges of dying, death and bereavement. 

It offers an opportunity for organisations and the general public to discuss the issues they believe are crucial at the end of life.

Gabriel Byrne

“Five times in my life I’ve sat at the bedside of a friend or relative dying in a crowded Irish hospital ward, appalled at the lack of privacy and dignity endured both by the dying and their loved ones.

But as I sat with my friend I asked myself - why does it have to be like this?  Is there anything I can do to change this awful situation?

To die with dignity is a right, not a privilege.”

(Gabriel Byrne)
