Speakers include Marie’s life partner Tom Curran, chair of EOLI Janie Lazar, Carmel Geoghan Founder of Dementia Ireland and all being well Helen Rochford-Brennan Global Dementia Ambassador. Justin McKenna Director of End of Life Ireland, will share a reflection that is both personal and professional, offering insight drawn from his own experience and leadership in the field.Living with a terminal or incurable and life limiting illness takes courage. As does facing death itself, for the dying person and those close to them.As Ireland and an increasing number of countries across the world move towards the introduction of Voluntary Assisted Dying, we honour the courage of all whose suffering becomes unbearable. We honour those who, in the absence of legislation take matters into their own hands. Some of whom travel abroad, all too often alone for an assisted death to protect their loved ones who would risk imprisonment for supporting them and who have to cope with the trauma of repressed grief. This gathering honours the courage of all impacted by the absence of legislation.Gill Bell, Convenor NWH will open the meeting at 2.30pm in The Yeats Building closing with a candlelight vigil walk to Queen Maeve Square.November 2nd is World Right to Die Day, when advocates for assisted dying unite in heart gather in local communities around the world to remember the selfless endeavours of those who have gone before. In Sligo we continue this honouring on the 9th November.
